Asian Games 2026: India Take Skiff Silver and Compound Bronze

The correct answer is Prince Noble and Manu Francis. The two of them finished second in the Men’s Skiff event at the Asian Games 2026 and took the silver medal, and the Prime Minister congratulated them on a result he said was built on skill and determination, adding that they had bettered their previous performances to reach the podium this time. Option B is wrong because Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru did not sail in the skiff at all; his medal came in archery’s compound section. Option C is wrong for the same reason, as it moves the compound archer into the sailing crew in place of Manu Francis. Option D is wrong because it replaces Prince Noble with a name that has nothing to do with this medal. Remember that the skiff is crewed by two athletes, so the silver is always quoted with both names together.

The correct answer is Men’s Compound Individual. Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru came through the Men’s Compound Individual bronze medal match at the Asian Games, and the Prime Minister praised him for accuracy under pressure, for his composure and for an unyielding spirit, saying he had brought the country great credit. Option A is wrong because the Men’s Skiff silver on the same day went to Prince Noble and Manu Francis, a two-member crew, and not to this athlete. Option C is wrong because the medal was won in the compound section and not in the recurve section, and it was an individual result, not a team one. Option D is wrong on the same count: it was an individual event, so the medal is credited to one archer alone rather than to a team of three.

The correct answer is that the skiff brought silver and the compound individual brought bronze. Prince Noble and Manu Francis stood second in the Men’s Skiff for the silver, while Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru won the Men’s Compound Individual bronze medal match. Option A is wrong because neither result was a gold; one was a silver and the other a bronze. Option C is wrong because it swaps the colours, a trap that appears often when two medals from the same day are put in one question, so the colour must be tied to the event and not merely remembered as a pair. Option D is wrong because only the compound result was an individual one; the skiff silver was won by a crew of two sailors, which is why it is always reported with two names.
