In which event did India win both the silver and the bronze medal on the same day at the Asian Games?
- A.Javelin throw
- B.Men's long jump
- C.Women's 5000m
- D.Men's 1500m
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the javelin throw. Two Indian throwers shared the same podium in that final: Yashvir Singh took the silver medal with a personal best throw and Rohit Yadav took the bronze. The Prime Minister described the double as a very good result both for the two athletes and for Indian athletics. Option B, the men's long jump, is wrong because India's medal there came through Murali Sreeshankar alone. Option C, the women's 5000m, is wrong because Parul Chaudhary was the lone Indian medallist in that race, with a bronze. Option D, the men's 1500m, is wrong because only Gulveer Singh medalled there, taking the silver. The javelin final is therefore the one event of the day that gave India two places on the podium at once.
