Pranav Soorma won gold at the Asian Para Games 2026 with a throw that set which record?

  1. A.A Games Record
  2. B.A new Asian Record
  3. C.A world record
  4. D.A national record

Correct answer

B. A new Asian Record

Explanation

The correct answer is a new Asian Record. Pranav Soorma won the Men’s Discus Throw F51/52/53 gold at the Asian Para Games 2026 on 20 October 2026, and the Prime Minister described the achievement as historic precisely because the winning throw went past the best mark previously recorded in the continent in that class. Option A names a lesser distinction, since a Games Record covers only performances produced at the Asian Para Games and would not require beating throws made at other competitions in Asia. Option C overstates the achievement, because a world record would mean surpassing every recorded throw anywhere in that class. Option D understates it, as a national record is measured only within India. The ladder is worth memorising in order, from personal best through national and Games records up to continental and world marks, because questions on para athletics are frequently built on exactly this distinction.
