The Asian Games 2026, where Indian women shooters won two silver medals in the 10m air rifle on 20 September, are being held in which city?

The correct answer is Women's 10m Air Rifle. On 20 September 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Sonam Uttam Maskar, Elavenil Valarivan and Vidarsa K Vinod on winning the silver medal in the women's 10m air rifle event at the Asian Games 2026, and credited the result to hard work and teamwork. Later the same day Elavenil added an individual silver in the same discipline.

The other three options are genuine shooting events, which is what makes them look plausible, but none of them is the event named in the Prime Minister's message. The women's 10m air pistol, the 25m pistol and trap are separate events, and the releases of that day record no Indian medal in them. Remember the pattern of 20 September instead: both medals mentioned came in the women's 10m air rifle, first in the team event and then individually.

The correct answer is second. In his message on X, the Prime Minister congratulated Elavenil Valarivan on the silver in the women's 10m air rifle individual event and noted that it was her second medal of the day, which made it even more special. Her first medal that day was the silver she won in the women's 10m air rifle together with Sonam Uttam Maskar and Vidarsa K Vinod.

Option A is wrong because the team medal came first, so the individual silver could not be her first. Options C and D are wrong because the releases of 20 September mention only two medals for her that day, the team silver and the individual silver. Examiners like to turn a detail such as this into a question, so remember the full picture: two silvers, one team and one individual, both in the women's 10m air rifle.

The correct answer is Sundays on Cycle. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports said Dr Mansukh Mandaviya led the 91st edition of Sundays on Cycle at Meijō Park in Nagoya, Japan, on 20 September 2026, bringing the Indian diaspora together to cheer for the Indian contingent at the Asian Games. The ride is organised by the ministry with the Cycling Federation of India, the Raahgiri Foundation and MY Bharat, and more than 6000 NAMO Fit India clubs hold it every week across the country.

The Fit India Freedom Run and the Fit India Plogging Run are different fitness campaigns, and the Khelo India Youth Games is a sports competition rather than a weekly ride, so none of them matches the event described in the release. Options A, C and D are therefore wrong. Note the edition number too, the 91st, since questions sometimes ask for it.

The correct answer is Women's cricket team. On 22 September 2026 India's women won the cricket gold at the Asian Games, and the Prime Minister noted that it was the country's first gold of this edition of the Games. He praised a commanding performance marked by confidence, skill and wonderful teamwork, and said the team would inspire countless young cricketers.

The other options are all Indian teams that have won Asian Games medals in the past, which is what makes them plausible. Men's hockey and women's kabaddi are traditional medal sports for India, and the men's cricket team also competes at the Games, but none of them provided the first gold this time. Until this win, India's medals at the 2026 Games had been silver and bronze in men's 10m air rifle shooting on 21 September.

The correct answer is Japan. The 2026 Asian Games, the 20th edition, are being held in the Japanese cities of Aichi and Nagoya. India's women's cricket team won the country's first gold of these Games there on 22 September 2026, a day after the shooters had opened India's account with silver and bronze in the men's 10m air rifle.

China hosted the previous edition at Hangzhou, which makes it the tempting wrong answer, and Indonesia hosted the Games before that at Jakarta and Palembang. South Korea has hosted three times, at Seoul, Busan and Incheon, but not in 2026. For multi-sport events, learn the edition number, host city and country together: 20th Asian Games, Aichi–Nagoya, Japan, held under the Olympic Council of Asia.
