Aishwarya Pissay excels in which one of the following sports ?
- A.Badminton
- B.Boxing
- C.Motorsports
- D.Chess
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, Motorsports. Aishwarya Pissay is a motorcycle racer from Bengaluru who in 2019 became the first Indian to win a world title in motorsports, the FIM World Cup in Bajas for women.
Pissay races in rally and cross-country (baja) events on motorcycles. She won the women's category of the FIM Bajas World Cup in 2019, a series of desert and off-road races run by the FIM, the world governing body of motorcycle sport. She is also a multiple national champion in road racing and rallying, and her title was a breakthrough for Indian women in a sport with very few women riders. Other Indians in motorsport include Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok, both of whom raced in Formula One.
A is wrong: she is not a badminton player; India's badminton stars include P.V. Sindhu and Saina Nehwal. B is wrong: she is not a boxer, unlike Mary Kom or Nikhat Zareen. D is wrong: she is not a chess player, unlike Koneru Humpy or Divya Deshmukh.
Exam tip: Aishwarya Pissay = motorcycle rally, first Indian world champion in motorsports (FIM Bajas World Cup, 2019).
