Manu Bhaker’s Olympic Triumph and KBC Appearance
Indian shooting sensation Manu Bhaker has added another feather to her cap by appearing on the popular television show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). The Olympian, who recently returned from the Paris Olympics 2024 with two bronze medals, shared her experiences and insights on the show.
During her conversation with host Amitabh Bachchan, Bhaker shed light on the intricate techniques involved in shooting at the highest level. She explained that shooters take extended pauses between shots to control their breathing and heart rate. This allows them to maintain composure and focus amidst the intense pressure of competition.
Bhaker emphasized the importance of a strong foundation in shooting, which involves not only physical skills but also mental and emotional preparation. She revealed that she relies heavily on yoga, Surya Namaskar, and meditation to calm her nerves and improve her concentration.
“Controlling anxiousness or nervousness takes time and practice,” Bhaker said. “To maintain focus, I rely heavily on yoga, Surya Namaskar, and meditation. I follow this routine with strict discipline.”
She also shared a specific breathing technique that she uses to regulate her heart rate. “I use a breathing technique with a 4:8 ratio: inhaling for four seconds and exhaling for eight seconds,” Bhaker explained. “Mastering this through practice helps normalize my heart rate.”
Bhaker’s appearance on KBC has garnered widespread attention and appreciation. It has not only highlighted her achievements but also provided a glimpse into the challenges and techniques involved in the sport of shooting.
