With his recent success, everyone is eager to learn more about him. Currently the talk of the town, here are all the details about this emerging superstar—or should we say, already emerged star.
Who is Manish Narwal?
Hailing from Ballabgarh, Haryana, Manish Narwal was born with a deformity in his right hand, but this did not stop him from achieving remarkable success. Although he initially aimed to be a footballer, his journey took a turn in 2016 when his father introduced him to a shooting range in their hometown. There, he began training with coach Rakesh Thakur. From that moment, Narwal’s career took off, leading him to win a bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships and a gold medal in the mixed team event at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. And now, he has added one more achievement to his list.
