India’s Paris Olympic star Manu Bhaker is likely to be the flag bearer at the closing ceremony on August 11.
Bhaker has been a standout performer in this edition, becoming the first Indian to win two medals in a single edition in independent India. She claimed two bronze medals, one in the 10m air pistol event and the other in the mixed team 10m pistol event.
According to reports, The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) will announce star shooter Bhaker will carry the country’s flag for the women’s contingent at the closing ceremony. However, it is not yet known who will represent India as the men’s flag bearer at the ceremony.

In the opening ceremony, shuttler PV Sindhu and paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal were the flagbearers for India. Now, Bhaker, who redeemed herself from early heartbreak in Tokyo 2020 is all set to carry the country’s flag as a two-time medal winner.
The star shooter has already said it would be a privelege and honour of a lifetime if she is named the flagbearer for the closing ceremony, scheduled to be held on August 11.
