In which sport did India win both the men's and the women's gold medals at the Asian Games on 26 September 2026?
- A.Hockey
- B.Kabaddi
- C.Squash
- D.Table tennis
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is kabaddi. On this day India stood first in both kabaddi events at the Asian Games: the men's team retained the gold medal it already held and the women's team won gold after a thrilling final, so the sport delivered two golds in a single day. Option A, hockey, is wrong because no hockey gold was announced among these results. Option C, squash, and option D, table tennis, are wrong because India's medals in those two sports on the same day were bronze, in the squash mixed team event and in mixed doubles table tennis, and not gold. Aspirants should link the sport with the colour of the medal and with the fact that both the men's and the women's teams stood on the top step.
