Bhawna Choudhary and Pooja Jatyan won India's first-ever Asian Para Games medal in which event?
- A.Women's compound doubles
- B.Women's recurve doubles
- C.Women's singles SU5
- D.Mixed team recurve
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is women's recurve doubles. The pair won the silver in that archery event, and it was described as India's first medal of any colour in the event at the Asian Para Games, which is what made the result historic. Option A names the compound bow category, a different archery discipline, and no first-ever medal in it was reported on the day. Option C, women's singles SU5, belongs to badminton: that is the class in which Thulasimathi Murugesan won her silver, and India had already stood on the podium in badminton classes before. Option D, the mixed team recurve, is an archery event of a different format, pairing a man and a woman, and it is not the event in which the two archers competed. For revision, hold three details together: the names of the two archers, the colour of the medal, which was silver, and the fact that this was India's first medal in women's recurve doubles at these Games.
