Pinkcy Balhara won a bronze medal at the Asian Games in which sport?
- A.Judo
- B.Wrestling
- C.Kurash
- D.Wushu
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is kurash. Pinkcy Balhara secured the bronze medal in the women's 78kg class of this sport at the Asian Games, and the Prime Minister said she had displayed tremendous grit and resolve throughout the competition, wishing that she would continue to scale new heights. Options A, B and D name other combat sports that also appear at major multi-sport events, but the medal in question was won in kurash, which is a grappling sport carried on the Asian Games programme. Candidates often confuse these disciplines because the weight classes look similar, so the name of the sport should be memorised along with the weight category of 78kg and the colour of the medal. On the same day India also took a silver in shooting through Esha Singh in the women's 25m pistol individual event.
