Parul Chaudhary won the bronze medal at the Asian Games in which event?

  1. A.Women's 1500m
  2. B.Women's 5000m
  3. C.Women's 3000m Steeplechase
  4. D.Women's 10000m

Correct answer

C. Women's 3000m Steeplechase

Explanation

The correct answer is the Women's 3000m Steeplechase. Parul Chaudhary finished third in that race at the Asian Games and, on her way to the podium, clocked her personal best, which is the detail that made her bronze stand out. Options A, B and D name flat distance races on the track, and while they are all genuine athletics events, none of them is the race in which this particular bronze was won. The steeplechase differs from those flat races because it is run over barriers and a water jump. The Prime Minister called the performance brilliant and said her dedication and perseverance had made the country proud, so the event, the colour of the medal and the personal best should be revised together.
