Hungarian sports shooter secured unexpected bronze at Paris Olympics! – PHOTOS
Veronika Major, Hungary’s 27-year-old sports shooter, won Hungary’s second bronze medal in shooting today at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. That is her second bronze at the Olympic Games.
She competed in the women’s 10-metre air pistol event at the 2020 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal in the women’s 25-metre pistol event at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Major secured Hungary’s sixth medal at the Paris Olympic Games. The Hungarian Team has won two golds, two silvers and two bronzes.
After the first round, she stood at the 6th-7th place with two hits, but in the next three rounds, she could advance to the second place thanks to her four hits out of five shots. In the fifth round, her performance was flawless, and she stood in fourth place in the seventh round.
In the final round, she defeated the two-time Olympic bronze medallist Manu Bhaker. Thus, she won Hungary’s and her second bronze. Only a South Korean and a French shooter could come before her.
The last time Hungary could win a medal in shooting was in Athens (2004), with Diána Igaly winning gold in skeet, 24.hu wrote.
