Deepthi Jeevanji won a gold medal at the Asian Para Games 2026 in which event?
- A.Women’s 400m T20
- B.Women’s 200m T20
- C.Women’s 400m T11
- D.Women’s 1500m T20
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Women’s 400m T20 event. Deepthi Jeevanji won the gold medal in that event at the Asian Para Games 2026 on 20 October 2026, and in doing so she retained the title she already held. The run also produced a Games Record, which is why the Prime Minister described retaining a title while improving a performance as a remarkable accomplishment. Option B keeps her class code but shortens the distance, option C keeps the distance but alters the class code, and option D changes the distance to a middle-distance race; none of the three matches the event in which the medal was actually won. In para athletics the class code is part of the event name, so the athlete, the distance and the code have to be remembered as one unit rather than separately.
