Paris [France], August 4 (ANI): India's two-time Olympic bronze medallist <keyword id="20241095" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Manu-Bhaker" source="keywords">Manu Bhaker</keyword> is set to be <keyword id="485496" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indias-flagbearer" source="Orion">India's flagbearer</keyword> in the <keyword id="21485167" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="closing-ceremony" source="keywords">closing ceremony</keyword> of the <keyword id="4833237" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paris-Olympics" source="Orion">Paris Olympics</keyword>. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) sources stated that Bhaker will be India's women's flagbearer in the closing ceremony. India's men's flagbearer for the ceremony is yet to be confirmed. The closing ceremony of the Paris <keyword id="19933819" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympics" source="keywords">Olympics</keyword> will take place on August 11. Bhaker brought her A-game in Paris and broke numerous accolades to claim two bronze medals in the Summer Games. The Paris Olympics has been a redemption for the 22-year-old shooter. During the 10m air pistol qualification round in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, her gun malfunctioned, which led to a loss of time. She was left with a very short amount of time to carry out her quota of shots. She missed the top-eight finish required to qualify for the final round and finished in the 12th spot. Bhaker opened India's medal tally in the ongoing Olympics after she secured third place in the women's individual 10m Air pistol event. Following that, Sarabjot Singh and Bhaker won the Bronze medal in the 10m air pistol (mixed team) event. She had a shot at returning with three medals from Paris. But in her final event, she narrowly missed out on the historic grand treble and finished fourth in the women's 25m pistol shooting event. She missed out on the opportunity to become the first Indian to win three medals at the Olympics. Bhaker is the first athlete from the Indian contingent after independence to get two medals in a single edition of the Paris Olympics. Earlier in the 1900 Olympics, Norman Pritchard won two medals while representing India, both silver in the 200m and 200m hurdles. Bhaker also joined an elite group of athletes to have multiple individual medals at the Olympics: PV Sindhu (badminton silver at Rio 2016 and bronze medal at Tokyo 2020) and Sushil Kumar (wrestling bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics).

Bhaker won a bronze each in the women's 10m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed team event -- where she had paired with <keyword id="22566736" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sarabjot-Singh" source="keywords">Sarabjot Singh</keyword>. She also came close to winning a third bronze in 25m pistol before finishing a creditable fourth in Paris. No Indian athlete has won more than two individual medals at the Olympics. "I think we all work hard to win medals. But if that happens (winning more than 2 individual medals at Olympics) then that would be great. The aim is to work hard and better this performance in the future," Bhaker told PTI Videos. "(I am) aiming to win many more Olympic medals for India," added Bhaker, who returned to the country after participating in the <keyword id="21485167" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Closing-ceremony" source="keywords">closing ceremony</keyword>. Bhaker had the honour of being India's flagbearer alongside veteran hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh at the closing ceremony on Sunday. "Being the flag bearer was the opportunity of a lifetime, I am grateful that I got this opportunity and will cherish this for a lifetime," she said. "I have a very friendly bond with Sreejesh bhaiya. I have known him since I was a young kid. He is always very friendly, helpful and kind. He made it a lot easier for me in the closing ceremony." Bhaker had returned to India last week but had flown back to Paris for the closing ceremony were she was the joint-flagbearer. She was accompanied at the Indira Gandhi International Airport by her coach Jaspal Rana and mother Sumedha. "I am happy for her. I am happy for the players. When I went to Paris, I met the <keyword id="20601214" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hockey-team" source="keywords">Hockey team</keyword>, Aman Sehrawat, Neeraj Chopra. I just hope all these athletes keep winning medals and all the mothers of this nation will be happy," said Bhaker's mother.

They were given a grand welcome by hundreds of fans who greeted them with garlands and dhols.

It has been great for the sport of hockey and hockey lovers of the country," Sumit said.

"PR Sreejesh deserved the honour of being the flag bearer. Hockey India extends its gratitude to the government for bestowing this prestigious recognition upon him," Bhola Nath told reporters. He confidently stated that the coutnry's team is the best in the world and capable of defeating anyone. "I can say it with utmost confidence, our team is the best in the world," Nath said while speaking to ANI. The organization celebrated the Indian team's remarkable achievement of securing back-to-back bronze medals, though they acknowledged the desire to have reached the final. "It has been an incredible achievement to win back-to-back bronze medals. We had hoped to reach the final. If <keyword id="21262191" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amit-Rohidas" source="keywords">Amit Rohidas</keyword> hadn't been shown a red card, the outcome could have been different.

Singh emphasized that Amit Rohidas' absence from the semifinal may have impacted the team's performance and possibly altered the colour of their medal. Reflecting on the semifinal, Singh noted, "It simply wasn't our day." Despite the setback, the team's triumph in the bronze medal match was a source of national pride. Singh highlighted that millions tuned their television to watch the match, although many were unaware of their return to the country today, so, there was no crowd as such. "During the bronze medal match, 18-19 crore people were glued to their TV sets. Many were unaware of that we will be landing today, because we had not communicated it properly," Singh said. Secretary General of Hockey India also praised coach Craig Fulton for understanding the Indian players and the country so quicky. "Craig Fulton is a splendid coach. He understands the players of India and Hockey. He will be there with us till the next Olympics. In the 2028 Olympics, we will win the Gold medal for India," Singh said The celebration of the hockey bronze medal was a testament to the players' resilience and dedication. Hockey India, along with fans across the country, celebrated the players' success and their contribution to Indian sports.

The <keyword id="11932" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympic" source="Orion">Olympic</keyword>s, a grand stage for timeless rituals and traditions, embodies humanity's enduring pursuit of greatness and togetherness. From the ceremonial lighting of the Olympic flame to the grandeur of the opening ceremonies, each tradition tells its own unique story. Yet, amidst these historic customs, one curious practice stands out as a quirky relic from the past: athletes biting their medals. It's a sight as iconic as the Games themselves: athletes, beaming with pride on the podium, their medals catching the light. But as they pose for photographers, many can't resist the impulse to bite their hard-earned honours. Why do they do it? <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="From a historical tradition to a modern-day money shot" comment="subhead" text="From a historical tradition to a modern-day money shot">From a historical tradition to a modern-day money shot</cmsannotation> The tradition of <keyword id="22584047" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="biting-medals" source="Orion">biting medals</keyword> has its roots in history, tracing back to an era when gold was used as currency. Merchants would chomp down on gold coins to test their authenticity, as pure gold is soft and would leave a mark if bitten. Fast forward to today, and Olympic medals are a far cry from solid gold. They consist of only about 6 grams of gold, with the remainder being silver and other metals. So, the athletes aren’t actually verifying the gold content when they give their medals a nibble. And yet, this quirky tradition has become so entrenched in Olympic culture that it’s almost expected. What began as a method to test the authenticity of medals has morphed into a celebratory gesture. Today, athletes bite their medals not to check for gold, but as part of the euphoria of their victory and, at times, to comply with photographers’ demands. Photographers often insist on this medal-biting pose, sometimes coaxing or even pressuring athletes to comply. David Wallechinsky, President of the International Society of Olympic Historians, has pointed out that the medal-biting pose is a coveted “money shot” for photographers. “It's become an obsession with the photographers. I think they look at it as an iconic shot, as something that you can probably sell. I don't think it's something the athletes would probably do on their own,” Wallechinsky told CNN back in 2012. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112009818" title="From sunbeams to Olympic dreams: How a simple mirror creates the legendary Olympic flame" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Some athletes have even suffered unpleasant consequences from this pose, like German luger David Moeller, who broke his tooth while biting his silver medal in 2010. Despite the risks, the medal-biting tradition shows no signs of slowing down. It's become an iconic part of the Olympic experience, capturing the thrill of victory in a single, unforgettable image. And as long as photographers keep asking for the shot, athletes will likely keep biting — even if they're not actually checking for real gold.

<keyword id="20292631" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-mens-hockey-team" source="keywords">Indian men's hockey team</keyword> secured yet another medal, this time a bronze, for <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword> at the ongoing <keyword id="20006192" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paris-Olympics" source="keywords">Paris Olympics</keyword>, thrashing Spain by 2-1, and finishing at the podium for the second consecutive time since the <keyword id="20262833" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tokyo-Olympics" source="keywords">Tokyo Olympics</keyword>, where they had previously secured a bronze. For India, both goals in this match were scored by skipper Harmanpreet Singh, also popularly known as Sarpanch Sahab. For the first time in 50 years, India has won bronze medals in Olympics, back to back. India holds the distinction of being the country that holds the most number of Olympic medals in field hockey. With this, India takes its medal tally to four in this Olympics. All of them are bronze medals, won by Manu Bhaker (2), Sarabjot Singh and Swapnil Kusale in shooting. India came very close to winning medals in Paris 2024 Olympics, securing six 4th place finishes. These athletes include Arjun Babuta (shooting), Dhiraj Bommadevara/Ankita Bhakat (archery), Manu Bhaker (shooting), Anantjeet Singh Naruka/Maheshwari Chauhan (mixed team skeet shooting), Mirabai Chanu (weightlifting) and Lakshya Sen (badminton). The medal comes as a soothing salve, as India nurses a series of brunts, following Vinesh Phogat's unfortunate disqualification from wrestling finals, and Antim Panghal's three-year ban imposed by the International Olympics Association (IOA), after she was found in breach of discipline. Her sister was arrested on charges of impersonation and entering the international athlete's village on Panghal's accredition card, following which the wrestler was sent back to India. After their gold medal triumph in 1980, the <keyword id="20415656" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-hockey-team" source="keywords">Indian hockey team</keyword> had to go through a long, 41-year drought, where the team won no medals, till Tokyo Olympics 2020, where we secured a bronze. To date, India has won 8 gold medals in hockey in Olympics, with the country's last gold medal in this sport coming in 1980. India did qualify for semi-finals in this Olympics and also came a step closer to winning silver or gold medal, but were defeated by Germany 3-2. Previously, India has also won a silver medal in 1960, alongside 3 bronze medals in 1968, 1972 and 2020. This is the last Olympic outing for star goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who managed to save many a crucial hits from the opposition. The team dedicated the medal to him, squaring off his fantastic career, which began in 2006. He holds 2 Asian games gold medals, 4 Olympic hats, and over 300 games to his credit.

On day 13 of the ongoing <keyword id="19933819" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympics" source="keywords">Olympics</keyword>, India's golden boy had to settle for silver with a throw of 89.45m, which was very close to his personal best. However, Pakistan's <keyword id="20865533" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arshad-Nadeem" source="keywords">Arshad Nadeem</keyword> stole the show, setting a new Olympic record and clinching the coveted <keyword id="20342188" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gold-medal" source="keywords">gold medal</keyword>. He came up with a sensational throw of 92.97 metres in his second attempt that not only dethroned defending champion Neeraj but also created a new Olympic record. The earlier Olympic record stood at 90.57m in the name of Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway, set during the 2008 Beijing Games. Grenada’s Anderson Peters claimed bronze with best throw of 88.54 metres in his fourth attempt. <h2>Final moments of javelin throw in Paris 2024</h2>Chopra, the reigning Olympic champion, also displayed immense courage and determination throughout the competition. With the sliver in Paris 2024, Neeraj became the fourth Indian athlete to clinch two individual Olympic medals, after shuttler PV Sindhu (one silver, one bronze), wrestler Sushil Kumar (one silver, one bronze) and shooter Manu Bhaker (two bronze). In the finals, however, reeling under the pressure to beat the record-breaking second throw from Nadeem, Neeraj fouled five times with four consecutive breaches after his second attempt of 89.45 m. In his sixth and final attempt, Nadeem again breached the coveted 90 m mark with an impressive of 91.79m to establish his dominance. Nadeem's exceptional performance proved to be insurmountable. Despite the disappointment of not defending his title, Chopra's <keyword id="19920397" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="silver-medal" source="keywords">silver medal</keyword> remains a testament to his unwavering dedication and skill. It also marked India's first silver medal at the Paris Olympics so far. <h2>A new chapter in Indo-Pak sporting rivalry</h2>Nadeem's victory is a monumental moment in Pakistan’s sporting history, being the country’s first Olympics gold in athletics. His record-breaking throw has not only secured him Olympic glory but also marked a new chapter in the Indo-Pak sporting rivalry. Chopra and Nadeem have added a new dimension to this decades-old sporting narrative, showcasing the spirit of top-class competition and sportsmanship in athletics, which remains an underappreciated field in both countries. The 26-year-old Chopra had never lost to Nadeem in their earlier 10 clashes throughout World and Asian Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games and Olympics. As the dust settles on this thrilling final, both Chopra and Nadeem have etched their names in the annals of Olympic history. While India celebrates Chopra's silver, the subcontinent as a whole is bowing to the extraordinary talent displayed by both athletes.
