What made Nishad Kumar's gold medal in the men's long jump T47 at the Asian Para Games 2026 even more special?
- A.It came on his debut in this event
- B.It was a new world record
- C.It was India's only medal of the Games
- D.He won it after returning from retirement
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that it came on his debut in this event. The Prime Minister said winning a gold medal on his debut in the men's long jump T47 made the achievement even more special, and he described Nishad Kumar's versatility, determination and sporting excellence as truly inspiring. Option B is wrong because the jump was called outstanding but no record was claimed for it, and a world record is a separate standard that requires bettering the best mark set anywhere in the world. Option C is wrong because the gold medal was not described as the country's only one; the result speaks only of this jumper and this event. Option D is wrong because no such comeback forms part of the result. The examinable word here is debut, and it is worth underlining because a careless reader will reach for the word record instead.
