Niranjan Mukundan’s bronze at the Asian Para Games 2026 came in which sport?

  1. A.Swimming
  2. B.Athletics
  3. C.Para powerlifting
  4. D.Para table tennis

Correct answer

A. Swimming

Explanation

The correct answer is swimming. Niranjan Mukundan won the bronze in the Men’s 200m Individual Medley SM7 event at the Asian Para Games 2026 on 20 October 2026, and the individual medley is a swimming race in which one competitor covers the distance in four different strokes. The Prime Minister called it a display of skill and endurance and said success in such a demanding event deserved appreciation. Option B is wrong, although it is tempting, because the sprint distance in the event name also appears in track races and India did win athletics medals on the same day through Preeti Pal and Hokato Hotozhe Sema. Option C names the sport of a separate Indian medal from the Games rather than this one. Option D names another sport in which India had medals at these Games. The giveaway in the event name is the class code, since SM marks a medley classification used in swimming.
