Neeru, Kynan Chenai Win Trap Mixed Team Gold at Asian Games

The correct answer is Neeru and Kynan Chenai, who took the top place in the Trap Mixed Team event at the Asian Games 2026 and set an Asian Record in the final while doing it. The other three options name pairs from other shooting disciplines, which is exactly the confusion a paper setter would build in. Option A pairs two pistol shooters, so it cannot be a trap result. Option C names two rifle shooters, again a different weapon family altogether: rifle and pistol events are fired at fixed paper or electronic targets, while trap is a shotgun event fired at moving clay targets. Option D likewise belongs to pistol shooting. Only trap shooters can win a trap event, and the pair that did it here, taking India’s first Asian Games gold in this event, is Neeru and Kynan Chenai.

The correct answer is that the pair set an Asian Record in the final and that the medal is India’s first ever Asian Games gold in the Trap Mixed Team event. Both firsts belong to the same result, which is why the Prime Minister described it as a memorable achievement for Indian shooting. Option A moves the record to the wrong level and the wrong round: it was an Asian Record, not a World Record, and it came in the final rather than in qualification. Option C overstates the claim badly, because Indian shooters have been winning medals at the Asian Games for decades; what was new here was a gold in this particular event. Option D describes a perfect score, which is not what was reported. So only option B states the two firsts correctly.

The correct answer is shotgun. Trap is one of the shotgun events, in which clay targets are flung away from the shooter at speed and at shifting angles, leaving very little time to swing the gun on and fire. Option A, rifle, and option B, pistol, are the two other competitive shooting families, and both are fired at fixed targets from a set distance, so neither describes trap. Candidates mix them up because all three appear on the same Asian Games shooting programme. Option D, crossbow, is not part of the Asian Games shooting programme at all and belongs to a separate sport. In the mixed team version of trap, one woman and one man from the same country shoot as a pair and their scores are added, which is the format in which the Indian pair took gold with an Asian Record in the final.
