Tejaswin Shankar won a bronze medal at the Asian Games in which event?
- A.Men's Heptathlon
- B.Men's Decathlon
- C.Men's Pentathlon
- D.Men's Marathon
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Men's Decathlon. Tejaswin Shankar finished third in the men's decathlon at the Asian Games and took the bronze medal, and the achievement was praised because the decathlon spreads demanding events across two days and asks for versatility, endurance and resolve together. Option A, the heptathlon, is a different combined event and is not the one in which this medal was won. Option C, the pentathlon, is likewise a different combined event with fewer disciplines. Option D, the marathon, is a single long-distance road race and has nothing to do with a combined event. Aspirants should remember the athlete with the decathlon and with the colour bronze, because a question may keep the name and change only the event.
