Manu Bhaker Backed by Heena Sidhu After Failing To Reach 10m Air Pistol Women’s Final Due to Technical Glitch at Tokyo Olympics 2020
Bhaker agonizingly missed the final spot as she ended with 575 qualification points. Despite her performance getting affected by the technical glitch, Bhaker did well to recover and stage a comeback to shoot 98 in her 5th series.
Indian shooter Heena Sidhu came out in support of compatriot Manu Bhaker after the latter finished 12th in the 10m Air Pistol Women's Final event at Tokyo Olympics 2020. Bhaker reportedly lost out on time due to a technical glitch and was unable to shoot for around five minutes in her 3rd series.
See her tweet here:
For all d people who are quick to judge that Manu succumbed to pressure. I just got to know what happened to her equipment in detail n how much time she lost. She didn't succumb to pressure she rose to it. Giving a score of 575 in less than 34 mins is n achievement of her nerves

'Start understanding performance'
She was so close that if that last shot was an inner 10 she wud have been in the finals even after going through a complete weapon breakdown in between the match. Stop judging athletes on numbers coz maybe that's the only thing u can understand. Start understanding Performance!!
