In which event did India win both the gold and the silver through Pranav Soorma and Ram Ratan Singh?

  1. A.Men’s Shot Put F56/F57
  2. B.Men’s Discus Throw F51/52/53
  3. C.Men’s Javelin Throw F53/54
  4. D.Men’s Discus Throw F43/F44/F62/F64

Correct answer

B. Men’s Discus Throw F51/52/53

Explanation

The correct answer is the Men’s Discus Throw F51/52/53 event. Pranav Soorma won the gold there with a new Asian Record and Ram Ratan Singh finished second for the silver, both on 20 October 2026 at the Asian Para Games 2026. Option A names a shot put event in which India’s medal of the day was a bronze rather than a gold and silver pair. Option C names a javelin class group, a different throwing discipline altogether. Option D is the trap worth studying, because it is also a discus event and India did take medals in it on the same day, but that podium was filled by Devender Kumar, Rakesh and Pradeep Kumar. The two discus class groups are separate competitions with separate medals, and a candidate who remembers only the word discus will find both options equally attractive.
