Teenage shooting sensation Manu Bhaker, 19, has been picked by the NRAI (National Rifle Association of India) for three events (10 meter air pistol, 25m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed team) as part of India’s 15-member squad for the Tokyo Olympics later this year. 

This makes Bhaker only the second Indian shooter, after 2012 London Olympics bronze medal-winner Gagan Narang, to represent the nation in three events at an Olympics. And while the young shooter herself is happy with the development, Team India’s junior pistol chief coach Jaspal Rana believes she’ll be under immense pressure.
