Nishad Kumar won a gold medal with a new Games Record at the Asian Para Games 2026 in which event?

  1. A.Men’s Long Jump T47
  2. B.Men’s High Jump T47
  3. C.Men’s High Jump T44
  4. D.Men’s Triple Jump T47

Correct answer

B. Men’s High Jump T47

Explanation

The correct answer is the Men’s High Jump T47 event. Nishad Kumar won that title at the Asian Para Games 2026 on 20 October 2026, and the height he cleared was the best ever recorded at these Games in the event, which is why the gold is paired with a Games Record. Option A names the right athlete and the right class code but the wrong event: he did win a long jump gold at the same Games, yet the record-setting jump came in the high jump, so a question that attaches the Games Record to the long jump is testing exactly this confusion. Option C keeps the high jump but changes the classification code, and in para athletics the code is part of the event name, so a different code means a different event and a different medal. Option D invents a third jumping event altogether. The safe way to remember the result is as one unit: athlete, event, class code, medal, record.
