Swati Chaudhary's silver medal at the Asian Para Games 2026 was notable because it was India's first ever medal in which archery category?
- A.Compound Open
- B.Recurve Open
- C.W1
- D.Barebow
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is W1. Swati Chaudhary won the silver medal in Women's W1 Archery on her very first appearance at the Asian Para Games, and this was India's first ever medal in the W1 category, which is why the achievement was singled out as a special moment for Indian para archery. Option A, Compound Open, is wrong because India was already winning in the compound events, as Sheetal Devi's two golds on the very same day show, so a compound medal would not have been a first. Option B, Recurve Open, and option D, Barebow, are categories that do not figure anywhere in the day's medal reports and are offered only as plausible-sounding archery terms. For the examination, the pairing to remember is Swati Chaudhary with W1 and with the word first, and Sheetal Devi with compound and with the word defended.
