At the Asian Games 2026, which medal did India's men's 10m air rifle team of Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil, Himanshu Dhillon and Parth Rakesh Mane win?
- A.Gold
- B.Silver
- C.Bronze
- D.Finished fourth
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Silver. On 21 September 2026 the trio of Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil, Himanshu Dhillon and Parth Rakesh Mane won silver in the men's 10m air rifle team event. The Prime Minister congratulated them, praising their "great combined score" and saying that their focus, consistency and teamwork had made India proud.
Gold is wrong, as the team finished second, and bronze is the colour of Rudrankksh Patil's individual medal, not the team's, which is why it tempts. "Finished fourth" is simply wrong. In a team event of this kind, the scores of the three shooters are added together, so every shot counts towards the final ranking. Two of the three, Himanshu Dhillon and Rudrankksh Patil, also won individual medals in the same discipline, giving India three medals from men's 10m air rifle.
