‘Criticism doesn’t matter’: Bhaker not setting medal goals for Asian C'ship
Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker says criticism no longer affects her as she prepares for the Asian Rifle/Pistol Championship in Delhi. The 23-year-old credits maturity, experience, and public support since her two Paris 2024 bronze medals for her positive mindset. Competing at home excites rather than pressures her. Feeling fit and focused, Bhaker has avoided medal expectations, instead setting personal performance standards.
