The high jump silver of Sarvesh Kushare ended an Indian medal wait of how long in that event at the Asian Games?

  1. A.Two decades
  2. B.Three decades
  3. C.Five decades
  4. D.Seven decades

Correct answer

C. Five decades

Explanation

The correct answer is five decades. The medal was called historic precisely because India had gone without a podium finish in the men's high jump at the Asian Games for five decades, and that wait was brought to a close by this jump. Options A and B, two and three decades, understate the length of the drought and would make the result far less remarkable than it was described to be. Option D, seven decades, overstates it. The figure of five decades is the single detail that turns this medal from a routine silver into a historic one, so it is the part of the story most likely to be asked. Aspirants should link the athlete, the event, the silver medal and the five-decade wait in one line of notes.
