manu bhaker hopes to replace degraded medals of paris olympics

New Delhi. India’s star pistol shooter Manu Bhaker is likely to get new medals in place of the two bronze medals she won at the Paris Olympics as she is among a large group of players who have complained that their medals have been damaged. Many players around the world have also posted pictures of their worn medals on social media in recent days. It has been discovered that Bhakar’s medals have been ‘discoloured’ and are in poor condition.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said the damaged medals would be systematically replaced by the Monnaie de Paris (National Mint of France). The new medal received by the players will be similar to the old one. The pieces of iron in the center of each Olympic medal weigh 18 grams (about two-thirds of an ounce). The Monnaie de Paris produces coins and other currency for France. The organizing committee of the Paris Olympics is working with the Monnaie de Paris to replace all damaged medals. The medals awarded at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics 2024 included pieces of the iconic Eiffel Tower.

The 5,084 gold, silver and bronze medals for Paris 2024 were designed by high-end jewelery and watch maker Chaumet (part of the LVMH group) and manufactured by Monnaie de Paris. Manu is the first Indian since independence to win two medals in the same Olympic season. He opened India’s medal account in these games by winning the bronze medal in the individual 10 meter air pistol event. She became the first female shooter from the country to win an Olympic medal. The 22-year-old player then won the bronze medal in the 10 meter air pistol mixed team along with Sarabjot Singh.
