<p>PR Sreejesh is named the Indian contingent’s second flag bearer at the Paris Olympics 2024 closing ceremony, joining ace shooter and two-time medallist Manu Bhaker, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced on Friday (August 9). PR Sreejesh won his second Olympic bronze medal on Thursday (August 8), with India beating Spain 2-1 in the men's hockey.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The IOA president, PT Usha, said the Indian hockey veteran was an emotional and popular choice within the IOA leadership, including the Chef de Mission Gagan Narang and the Indian contingent.</p>

<p>“Sreejesh has served Indian hockey in particular and Indian sport in general admirably through more than two decades,” PT Usha said.</p>

<p>The former face of Indian athletics, PT Usha, added she even spoke with javelin hero and Paris Games silver medallist Neeraj Chopra about his thoughts over picking Sreejesh.</p>

<p>Chopra, who stood second in his second Summer Games, agreed immediately with Sreejesh’s name as the joint flag bearer for the Closing Ceremony on Sunday (August 11).</p>

<p>“I spoke with Neeraj Chopra and appreciate the spontaneity and grace with which he agreed that Sreejesh should be the flag bearer at the closing ceremony,” PT Usha continued. “He told me ‘Ma’am, even if you had not asked me, I would have suggested Sree bhai’s name’.

<p>Besides, PR Sreejesh capped off his incredible career with his second bronze medal in Paris, while Neeraj won the silver medal in the javelin throw final while battling his groin injury.&nbsp;</p>

Paris Olympics 2024 Closing Ceremony: PR Sreejesh joins Manu Bhaker as India's flag bearers

<p>It is another successful campaign for the Indian athletes at the Paris Olympics 2024 as they continue their sparkling form in the French capital. At the time of writing, India has won three medals in the Paris Games and continues&nbsp;search for more glory. While athletes play a huge role in making the nation proud, the backbone of these athletes is the support provided to them. WION caught up with founder and Managing Director of IOS Sports &amp; Entertainment, Neerav Tomar, who discussed in detail how they work for branding.</p>

<h2><strong>Changing landscape of Indian sports branding</strong></h2>

<p>Over the past eight&nbsp;years, Neerav’s brainchild, IOS Sports &amp; Entertainment has been the exclusive marketing agency for the Indian Olympic Association which has stood behind the success of prominent medal-winning athletes.</p>

<p>“The journey of IOS has been unrealistic, considering we have about 60 athletes as part of our family which included Vijender Singh (the first Indian boxer to win a bronze at the Olympics). Having started in 2005, we had setup challenges but eventually, we overcame them. Our major deal was in 2016, when we joined hands with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) when there were hardly any sponsors. However, the athletes now don’t have to worry as we now have 14 sponsors,” Tomar said in an exclusive conversation with WION.</p>

<p>Asked how sponsorship deals have inflated over the last eight, Tomar reflected on the journey and stated how he has pioneered to set a benchmark.</p>

<p>“Back in 2016 before the Rio Olympics, there was a lack of strategies and approaches when the deals were made. However, now we have seen an exponential growth of almost 2000 per cent as we have set up strategies on how to deliver and bring big brands and this has helped IOS and the IOA to be successful in cracking big sponsorship deals,” Tomar added.</p>

Exclusive: How branding has played key role for Indian athletes as stars rise to prominence at Paris Olympics

<p>Ace shooter Manu Bhaker is named India’s flag bearer at the Paris Olympics 2024 closing ceremony on August 11. Manu created history in the French capital city by winning two medals in a single edition, becoming the first athlete from the country to achieve this feat. Although the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) named her the female flag bearer, they are yet to name the men’s flag bearer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bhaker has been the standout performer this edition, winning two bronze medals in the Women’s 10m Air Pistol and Mixed Team 10m Air Pistol final (alongside Sarabjot Singh), respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Later, after qualifying for the 25m Pistol final, Manu finished fourth, losing the chance to win her third medal at the Paris Games 2024 by just two points.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Bhaker, 22, had a contrasting outing at her maiden Games in Tokyo three years ago, where she failed to bag a medal. During the 10m air pistol qualification round, Manu’s shooting gun malfunctioned during the game. Due to this, she missed out on completing her quota of shots, thus failing to qualify for the final.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Paris, three years later, Bhaker entered the record books by becoming the female shooter from the country to win an Olympic medal in shooting.</p>

<h2>Manu in an elite company</h2>

<p>With two medals in total in one edition, Manu is the first Indian to unlock this feat. Her twin bronze medals put her on the elite list of Indian athletes with two medals at the Summer Games.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She is now only the third Indian after badminton star PV Sindhu (silver at Rio 2016 and bronze medal at Tokyo 2020) and former wrestler Sushil Kumar (bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics) to bag this achievement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, with age on her side and considering the ocean of talent she possesses, Manu can get past the tally and create history.</p>

If you need some motivation, look no further than the powerful female athletes representing their countries at the Paris Olympics. American star gymnast Simone Biles has showcased incredible resilience by bouncing back from trauma. Meanwhile, Indian shooter Manu Bhaker has paved the way for women athletes in India by making history with her bronze medal win in the women's 10-metre air pistol event in Paris.

India's Manu Bhaker has become the first Indian female shooter to win a medal at the Olympics, but she isn't done yet. Manu Bhaker targets Olympic gold after winning the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics. Bhaker told WION's Sports Editor Digvijay Singh Deo that she is delighted with her bronze but wants to change the colour of the medal soon.

Paris Olympics 2024: India's Manu Bhaker speaks to WION after winning Olympic medal | WION Exclusive

<p>A 20-year-long pursuit came&nbsp;to an end after Manu Bhaker won a bronze, on Sunday (July 28)&nbsp;in the 10m air pistol shooting event at the ongoing Paris Olympic 2024. She is the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in shooting. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, it was Suma Shirur who made headlines after qualifying for the women's final in the 10m air rifle shooting event. She, however, finished eighth in the medal round. This year, the shooting contingent already has one medal in their kitty and Ramita Jindal finished in seventh place in the 10m air rifle event on Monday (July 29).&nbsp;</p>

<p>WION spoke to Suma Shirur, chief coach of the rifle team, on what took a woman so long to qualify and bring home a medal. "I wouldn't call it a lack of facilities but I guess it’s more the overall growth of the system. Though women have been doing well in other events, in the Olympics, something or the other has eluded them. I am happy that Manu not only qualified but brought home a medal and Ramita and Arjun Babuta have also qualified for the final."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking on the country's sporting culture, Shirur emphasises that&nbsp;India still lacks on this front as not enough athletes take up sports after school and university level, which creates a gap in the community. “From the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) standpoint, they are moving towards gender parity with equal number of events for men and women. As a society, it has taken its own course of time, yes, it has been a struggle, but a lot is being done to bridge this gap. There is always room for improvement, the wheels are turning and it's always about doing better.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shirur says, it all boils down to having more people pursuing sports as a career, more participation, and subsequently reaching high levels of achievement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Tokyo Games, Bhaker's gun developed technical snag in the 10m air pistol event qualifying round and she failed to advance to the final round.</p>

<p>She also failed to make it to the final round in the 25m pistol event as well.</p>

<p>The shooter, however, was happy to win an Olympic medal and vowed to do better next time.</p>

<p>"Really grateful that I could win bronze, maybe (it will be) better next time. I feel great. This medal was long due for India. It feels surreal," added Bhaker.</p>

<p>On Sunday, Manu shot a total score of 221.7 in 20 shots for her bronze medal as South Korean duo of Oh Ye Jin and Kim Yeji won gold and silver, respectively.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This was also India's first shooting medal since 2012 London Olympics where Gagan Narang and Vijay Kumar had won a bronze and a silver, respectively.</p>
