Shooting sensation Manu Bhaker is on the cusp of creating history. The 22-year-old has already secured two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics and is now set to compete in the 25m pistol final on Saturday.

A victory would make her the first Indian to win three medals at a single Olympic Games.

While Bhaker takes aim at a historic feat, India's medal hopes extend beyond the shooting range.

 

Boxer Nishant Dev is one step away from clinching a bronze medal as he faces Mexico's Marco Verde in the quarterfinals.
The women's archery team, featuring Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur, will also be in action in the individual events, looking to make a strong impact.
