Seeking to steer away from “negativity”, Indian pistol ace Manu Bhaker on Saturday said that she will continue to shoot in three events, including the 25m, and vowed to make a strong comeback after enduring a hat-trick of heartbreaks in her maiden Olympics.

Speaking to PTI after arriving from Tokyo, Bhaker, 19, said there was negativity around her preparations in the run-up to the Olympics, due to the conflict with former coach Jaspal Rana, who wanted her to withdraw from the 25m pistol event. “I will continue to shoot in 25m event,” Bhaker said as she readied to leave the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The controversy and the negativity around her dispute with Rana impacted her performance, said Bhaker.
