Saurabh Chaudhary excels in which one of the following sports?
- A.Archery
- B.Shooting
- C.Boxing
- D.Judo
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Shooting. Saurabh Chaudhary is an Indian pistol shooter who competes in the 10 metre air pistol event.
Born in 2002 in a farming family of Kalina village near Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, he burst onto the scene as a teenager. In 2018 he won gold in the 10 m air pistol at the Asian Games in Jakarta and gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. He went on to win several ISSF World Cup medals, often with Manu Bhaker in the mixed team event, and set a junior world record. He qualified for the final of the 10 m air pistol at the Tokyo Olympics.
Option A is wrong because India's leading archers include Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das, not Saurabh Chaudhary. Option C is wrong because he has no link with boxing, where names such as Mary Kom and Lovlina Borgohain stand out. Option D is wrong because he is not a judoka.
Exam tip: Saurabh Chaudhary, 10 m air pistol, Asian Games gold 2018 at the age of 16.
