Pradeep Kumar’s bronze-winning throw in the discus event was described as which of the following?
- A.A world record
- B.An Asian Record
- C.A Games Record
- D.A Personal Best
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is a Personal Best. Pradeep Kumar secured the bronze in the Men’s Discus Throw F43/F44/F62/F64 event at the Asian Para Games 2026 with the best throw of his own career, and the Prime Minister praised his commitment to pushing his own limits. The distinction matters because the three wrong options name records of a different order. A world record is the best mark anywhere in the world in that class, an Asian Record is the best in the continent, and a Games Record is the best achieved at the Asian Para Games themselves. A Personal Best is measured only against the athlete’s own earlier performances, so it can be set well below any of those marks. Candidates lose easy marks by treating every improvement reported from a competition as a record of the meet, when the release attached only a career-best mark to this particular bronze medal throw.
