India Takes Three Athletics Bronze Medals at Asian Games 2026

The correct answer is Pooja. She won the bronze medal in the women's high jump at the Asian Games 2026, and the medal carries extra weight because it is India's first in that event at the Asian Games in more than two decades. The Prime Minister called it a memorable achievement and wished her well for the future. Option B, Vithya Ramraj, is a track athlete associated with relay and hurdles events rather than the high jump, so she is not the answer. Option C, Neeru Dhanda, is a shooter and not a field athlete, which rules her out. Option D, Manisha Keer, is also from shooting and not from athletics, so she is incorrect as well. Aspirants should link Pooja with the high jump and with the fact that her medal ended a drought of over twenty years for India in this field event.

The correct answer is the men's 5000m. Gulveer Singh finished on the podium in this distance race, and the Prime Minister described the result as a remarkable hat-trick of podium finishes for him at these Games, praising his consistency, endurance and determination. Option A, the men's 800m, is a middle-distance race and not the event in which this bronze was won, so it is wrong. Option B, the men's 1500m, is another middle-distance event and is likewise not the correct discipline here. Option D, the men's marathon, is a road race over a far longer distance and does not match the event named, so it is incorrect too. For the examination hall the useful habit is to store the athlete and the distance together, since questions on the Asian Games very often test exactly that pairing rather than the medal colour alone.

The correct answer is Gulveer Singh. He won his bronze in the men's 5000m, an individual distance race, and was not a member of the relay squad. The bronze-winning men's relay team over four laps was made up of Dharmveer Chaudhary, Manu TS, Jay Kumar and Vishal TK, and the Prime Minister said they had secured the medal with a superb timing while hoping their success would make athletics more popular in the years ahead. Option A, Dharmveer Chaudhary, option B, Manu TS, and option D, Vishal TK, were all part of that squad, so none of them fits a question asking who was left out. Aspirants should note that the fourth member of the relay team was Jay Kumar, and that a relay medal is awarded to the whole quartet rather than to an individual runner.
