Not right time for sport but prepared for Olympics: Manu Bhaker

Postponement of tournaments, cancellation of trials and camps hardly matter at this point to one of India's biggest young achievers in sport, Manu Bhaker, who is hoping to see the world win the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic has cast serious doubts over the upcoming Olympic Games but the 18-year-old, a medal prospect at the quadrennial extravaganza, is currently not thinking about things that are beyond her control.

"Trials, events should be postponed in current situation as there are other very important things for the world to deal with," Bhaker told PTI.

She says the shooters are abiding by the protocols and guidelines issued by the concerned authorities.

"Altogether we are strictly following instructions of the health ministry and the guidelines of World Health Organisation."
"Camp situation was fine as only few shooters were there, there was no large gathering and it was for three days."
