Technical snag costs Manu final spot in Olympics, Heena says don t judge on numbers only

Tokyo: A “circuit malfunction” in her pistol cost Indian shooting ace Manu Bhaker dearly as she narrowly missed out on qualifying for the finals of the women’s 10m air pistol event at the Tokyo Olympics here Sunday. Owing to the technical snag during the second series, Manu lost more than five minutes, enough to disturb one’s rhythm in the precision sport, after making an impressive start in her maiden Olympic appearance. Her father Ramkishan Bhaker, as well as a National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) official, said that the electronic trigger of Manu’s pistol had “suffered a circuit malfunction” in the middle of the second series of the qualification.

Needless to say, the unfortunate incident has left the young shooter heartbroken . She had suffered due to technical issues in the past too, most notably during the ISSF World Cup in Munich in 2019, which offered quota places for the Tokyo Games. But, she came back strongly to grab the quota in another event of the same tournament. But, even with all the problems that she has faced today, an inner 10 in the last series would have taken her in the finals, the coach added. The duration of time lost was more than enough to disturb her rhythm, after she had made an impressive start in her maiden Olympic appearance.
