The Paris Olympics are over. This time Indian athletes won a total of 6 medals, including 5 bronze and 1 silver. Manu Bhaker and Neeraj Chopra have won 3 medals. While Manu won two medals in the 10 meter air pistol event of shooting, Neeraj won silver in javelin with a throw of 89.45 meters. Both the players have been in the headlines since they brought glory to the country in Paris. Recently, a video of the two talking in Paris also went viral, after which marriage rumors started flying. After this, Manu's father clarified everything about the relationship of the two athletes.

However, today we will not talk about the relationship, but about their career and success. Let us know how successful both the Olympic stars are compared to each other.

Manu has 34 medals to his name

22-year-old Manu had earlier tried her hand at tennis, skating, Manipuri martial art Thang-Ta and boxing. She also won many medals at the national level in these sports, but at the age of 14 she chose shooting as a career. Her father, who was in the Indian Navy, bought a pistol worth Rs 1.5 lakh for this sport. She became the champion of many tournaments at the junior level and also broke records.

Manu got her first success at the international level in 2017, when she won silver in the Asian Junior Championship.

After this, she won 2 bronze medals in Olympics, 1 gold and 1 silver medal in Youth Olympics and 1 gold medal in Commonwealth Games. Manu has also won 9 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 2 bronze medals in ISSF World Cup. She has also won 1 gold medal each in Asian Games and World Championship. Thus, she has won a total of 24 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 5 bronze medals in international events at junior and senior level.

Neeraj always remained in first or second place

Neeraj Chopra has won a total of 13 medals in international events so far.

That means he has 21 medals less than Manu Bhaker. The biggest reason behind this is that there are many types of events in a shooting tournament. Therefore, there are more chances of winning medals in it, whereas in javelin there is only one chance to win a medal in a tournament. However, Neeraj's success is special in itself. Till date, he has been at the first or second position in any tournament and has only won gold or silver.

Neeraj, who started his career in 2013, has won 1 gold and 1 silver in the Olympics, 1 gold and 1 silver in the World Championship, and 1 gold and 1 silver in the Diamond League.

Apart from this, no one has been able to defeat him in the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games and he has won 3 golds. In this way, in his career, he has won a total of 9 golds and 4 silvers in junior and senior level international events.

Manu Bhaker or Neeraj Chopra, who is richer?

Manu Bhaker may be ahead of Neeraj Chopra in terms of medals, but the javelin champion has left her behind in earning money. According to a report by GQ India, Neeraj Chopra's net worth is $4.5 million.

That means he owns about Rs 37 crore. On the other hand, Manu Bhaker's net worth is said to be Rs 12 crore.

Whose game costs more?

Neeraj Chopra won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. Initially, his family had to struggle a lot to buy javelin and many other facilities. However, now the expenses of his training are borne by the Sports Authority of India (SAI). During the Tokyo Olympics, SAI had informed that the government had spent about Rs 7 crore on his training.

The government provided him 177 javelins and javelin throw machines, on which about Rs 74.28 lakh was spent. In the Paris Olympics too, the highest amount was spent on him in individual sports. This time Rs 5.72 crore was released for the training of Neeraj Chopra.

Talking about Manu Bhaker who won 2 bronze medals, this time an investment of Rs 1.68 crore was made on her. For participating in any event, Indian shooters are provided pistols by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) or the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). For these events, most shooters use the Morini CM 162EI model pistol. Manu also won bronze in Paris with this model, which costs around Rs 16 lakh.
