In which event did Ravi K. Budigina win a silver medal at the Asian Para Games 2026?
- A.Men's 100m freestyle S13 swimming
- B.Men's 100m sprint T13 athletics
- C.Men's javelin throw F46
- D.Men's long jump T47
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the men's 100m freestyle S13 swimming event. Ravi K. Budigina was the runner-up in that race at the Asian Para Games 2026, and the Prime Minister called his determination, hard work and sporting spirit commendable, described the achievement as a proud moment for the nation and wished him continued success in the times ahead. Option B is wrong because his medal came in the pool and not on the athletics track, even though the distance is written the same way in both sports, which is the trap here. Option C is wrong because the javelin throw F46 is a field event in para athletics and not a swimming race at all. Option D is wrong for the same reason, the long jump T47 being a jumping event rather than a race in the pool. In para swimming the letter S marks the freestyle, backstroke and butterfly events.
