At which sporting event did Indian athletes win a record 114 medals in October 2026?
- A.Commonwealth Games
- B.Asian Para Games
- C.Summer Olympic Games
- D.World Para Athletics Championships
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Asian Para Games. India recorded 114 medals at the 2026 edition of this competition, the largest haul the country has ever managed there, and the Games had just concluded when Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the contingent. The event brings together athletes with disabilities from across Asia, which is why the achievement is read as a measure of the progress of para-sport in the country. Option A is wrong because the Commonwealth Games are a separate multi-sport competition of the Commonwealth nations. Option C is wrong because the Olympic Games follow their own four-year cycle and the para-sport competition linked to them is the Paralympic Games. Option D names a single-discipline world championship in athletics, not the multi-sport Asian event at which this record total was reached.
