Manu Bhaker missed yet another mustache shooting final and the Indian shooters’ medalless campaign ended on Friday. The teen, who was in the spotlight after a disappointing campaign at the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event, should make a strong comeback.
Much has been said about Manu and the rift in the Indian pistol rifle camp after Manu and Saurabh Chaudhary left the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event. NRAI boss Rainder Singh had spoken to trainer Jaspal Rana about Manu’s problems even before the teenage girl stepped onto the Asaka shooting range for her third and final event of the Games.
After the end of her campaign, the 19-year-old opened up her conflict with coach Jaspal Rana, who was released from his duties before the games in Tokyo. In an exclusive interview with India Today from Tokyo, Bhaker said that she is in a very bad mental situation because of all of her problems with trainer Rana.
Bhaker also made it clear that she did not send any text messages to Jaspal Rana and the NRAI decided to remove him given the overall situation. It is noteworthy that during the World Cup in New Delhi in March of this year, Rana presented the shooting ranges of Karni Singh in a bizarre show with Manu’s allegedly personal message on the back of his white T-shirt.
“First of all, I haven’t been on social media for the past 4-5 months and I have no idea what’s going on outside, but as for the coaching thing – I’ve had a lot of negatives in my life and in my shooting career too.” My private life and also my family 3 or 4 months ago It was also very negative and depressing, but now I feel positive and happy about everything.
“I’m very sorry, but he never let me down. The association made the decision because I told them so and they also realized that everything with my life will be negative. The people I trust the most tried to get myself down, maybe because of some personal gain. I was asked to retire. There have been many negatives in my life, “Manu Bhaker told India Today.
Not successful just because of the support of the people
The young shooter did not mince his words to say that she was successful not only thanks to the help of others. However, she believed that the presence of new coach Ronak Pandit at the Games Village might have benefited her.
“Everything was the same (without coach Jaspal Rana) and I also had some competitions without him. A lot of competitions actually, last year too where he wasn’t anywhere in the picture. I didn’t have a coach during the 2018 World Cup, so it’s not like that . ” As if I had succeeded with someone to support me, maybe I was really looking forward to the Games, but I think I was trying way too hard to win for the country and that didn’t work.
“I think Ronak Pandit would have come to me if that had been possible earlier and that would have been a lot better.
“I’ve never sent a message to Jaspal Rana. I told you that I haven’t been on social media for a while. My mother must have written it, she’s a very emotional person. She saw him me injured during the World Cup, he was there, but he wasn’t really there. I didn’t have another coach at the time, when I was looking for someone to help me he was there for someone but not for me. When I told him, he said he didn’t have the accreditation card but he was there with someone but not me.
“Few people asked me about the message and I told them I didn’t write it. I didn’t think about whether it was stupid or not because I didn’t have to. The thing I didn’t even do Why should I do it, think about it.
“I respected him, I still do, but the things he did to me were not good at all.
“I think the association and the president have helped me pretty well and yes they made the decision and I think it was right,” added Bhaker.
Manu Bhaker returns home with many realizations
The Haryana native believes she tried too hard to win and that didn’t help her with the games. Experience is what it takes home.
“Definitely a lot of experience and the warmth of my team-mates in how we have trained over the last 3-4 months. I started well, I tried and did my best, either bad luck or maybe we tried too hard to win.”
On Friday, Manu was able to leave the disappointments behind and shut out the noise as she scored a brilliant 292 in the precision lap of the 25m pistol qualifying. She finished 5th after the end of the precision lap on Thursday (with top 8 qualification).
Another 292 would have given her a place in the final of the 25-meter pistol women, but the youngster missed the last place, although she came excruciatingly close to the finish. She shot 290 in Rapid and was on the hunt until the last series where she shot an 8.
