Prachi Pandey became the first Indian to win a medal in which event at the Asian Para Games?
- A.Women’s Singles Class 6
- B.Women’s Singles Class 9
- C.Women’s Singles Class 3
- D.Women’s Doubles Class 6
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Women’s Singles Class 6 event. Prachi Pandey took bronze there on 20 October 2026 and became the first Indian ever to win a medal in that class at the Asian Para Games, which is why the Prime Minister described it as a historic first for Indian para table tennis and a pathbreaking achievement. The medal is doubly notable because it came on her debut appearance at the Games. Option B names the class in which Baby Sahana Ravi won her bronze the same day, so it belongs to another athlete and another first. Option C names a different class altogether, and option D turns a singles event into a doubles one, which does not match what was reported. In para table tennis the class number is part of the event name, so the athlete and her class have to be learnt together.
