Which of the following is the first Indian to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympics?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Manu Bhaker
At the Paris Olympics 2024, the shooter Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals: in the women’s 10 m air pistol and, with Sarabjot Singh, in the 10 m air pistol mixed team event. She became the first Indian since Independence to win two medals at a single edition of the Olympics. The only earlier double for India came at the 1900 Paris Games, when Norman Pritchard, an athlete born in Calcutta, won two silver medals in athletics.
P. V. Sindhu also has two Olympic medals, but from two different Games: silver at Rio 2016 and bronze at Tokyo 2020.
