Nimisha Chakkungalparambil Suresh won a silver medal at the Asian Para Games in which event?
- A.Women's Long Jump T47
- B.Women's 400m T47
- C.Women's Javelin Throw F51
- D.Women's 200m T37
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Women's Long Jump T47. Nimisha Chakkungalparambil Suresh finished second in this event and the Prime Minister said that her dedication and hard work had brought another proud moment for Indian para athletics, wishing her well for future competitions. Option B is wrong because no Indian silver was reported in a women's track race over that distance on the day; the sprint medals that came India's way were won by men, Sandeep in the 100m T44 and Rakeshbhai Bhatt in the 200m T37, and both were bronze. Option C is wrong because the F51 classification figured in the Men's Club Throw, where Pranav Soorma won the gold and Dharambir the bronze. Option D is wrong for the same reason as option B: the 200m T37 bronze belonged to Rakeshbhai Bhatt, a men's event. Fix the pairing of the athlete, the medal, the event and the classification together.
