Manu Bhaker Wears Borrowed Outfit at Asian Games Opening Ceremony Due to Kit Size Issues
Manu Bhaker wore a borrowed ceremonial outfit at the Asian Games opening ceremony in Nagoya after the issued kit did not fit properly, including the jacket and shoes. Her father, Ramkishan Bhaker, said the supplied shoes were the wrong size, so she borrowed a pair from a masseuse with the shooting contingent. Initially focused on training, Bhaker was persuaded to be a flag-bearer. She led the Indian contingent wearing the borrowed attire and will compete in multiple pistol events.
