<p>Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain has become the&nbsp;world&#39;s&nbsp;third most expensive player after the 28-year-old signed a five-year deal at Juventus Football Club, and moved to Napoli, an Italian Champions club,&nbsp;for $99 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;Juventus can confirm that it has purchased the registration rights of Gonzalo Higuain for &euro;90 million, payable in two financial years,&quot; said a statement on the Juventus website.&nbsp;<br />

<br />
Higuain&#39;s move could create a ripple effect in the market amid speculation that Paul Pogma may be on his way out to Manchester United from Juventus.&nbsp;The 23-year-old Pogba left United on a free transfer in 2012, but is likely to make&nbsp;the move back to the Premier League this summer.<br />

Paris Olympics 2024: India's Manu Bhaker-Sarabjot Singh clinch bronze medal in mixed 10m air pistol event

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. This achievement marks the first time an Indian woman has won a medal in shooting at the Olympics, making her a trailblazer in the sport for her country.

Simone Biles, Manu Bhaker: The Female Athletes Making History at the Paris Olympics

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>Manu Bhaker, India's first medalist at Paris Olympic Games 2024, said that Bhagvad Gita helped her cope up with Tokyo Olympics disappointment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The comments came after Bhaker won a bronze medal in women's 10m air pistol event on Sunday (Jul 28) and became first India woman shooter to win a medal at Olympic Games.</p>

<p>"I read a lot of Bhagwat Gita, and tried to do just what I am supposed to do and left everything else to God. We can't fight destiny, you can't control the outcome. You can only keep trying and keep giving your best," she added when asked how she dealt with the disappointment in Tokyo.</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>In the mixed 10m air pistol event she finished seventh with partner Saurabh Chaudhary despite topping stage 1 of the qualification 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>

Manu Bhaker, India's first medalist at Paris Olympic Games 2024, said that Bhagvad Gita helped her cope up with Tokyo Olympics disappointment. The comments came after Bhaker won a bronze medal in women's 10m air pistol event on Sunday (Jul 28) and became first India woman shooter to win a medal at Olympic Games. "After Tokyo, I was very disappointed. It took me a long time to get over that," Bhaker said to broadcaster Jio Cinema after her win.

We can't fight destiny, you can't control the outcome. You can only keep trying and keep giving your best," she added when asked how she dealt with the disappointment in Tokyo. 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. In the mixed 10m air pistol event she finished seventh with partner Saurabh Chaudhary despite topping stage 1 of the qualification round. She also failed to make it to the final round in the 25m pistol event as well. The shooter, however, was happy to win an Olympic medal and vowed to do better next time. "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. 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. 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.
