In which event did the team of Kiran Pahal, Poovamma MR, Prachi and Vithya Ramraj win gold at the Asian Games?
- A.Women's 4x100m relay
- B.Women's 4x400m relay
- C.Mixed 4x400m relay
- D.Women's 1500m
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the women's 4x400m relay. Kiran Pahal, Poovamma MR, Prachi and Vithya Ramraj ran together in that event at the Asian Games and finished first, and the Prime Minister praised their speed and determination for carrying the country to the top of the podium. Option A names the shorter sprint relay, in which each runner covers only a quarter of the distance covered in the event these four athletes actually won, so it is wrong. Option C is a mixed relay, which is contested by men and women in the same team, whereas the medal here came in a women's event, so that option does not fit either. Option D is an individual middle distance race rather than a relay at all, and an individual race could not have been won by a team of four runners. Only option B matches the event named in the announcement.
