In which event did Tajinderpal Singh win the silver medal at the Asian Games?
- A.Javelin throw
- B.Discus throw
- C.Shot put
- D.Hammer throw
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the shot put. Tajinderpal Singh won silver in the men's shot put with an impressive throw, and the Prime Minister noted that his focus and perseverance have brought India laurels over and over, so this medal is another milestone in a long career. Options A, B and D name the javelin, the discus and the hammer, which are also throwing events in athletics but not the one in which he competed here, so they are wrong. Aspirants should link his name firmly with the shot put, because papers often list four throwing events as options. On the same day India's other athletics medal came from Prachi Choudhary, who took bronze in the women's 400m. His silver was one of the two silver medals India took that day, the other coming from the women’s rifle team event in shooting.
