What made Simran's performance in the women's sprint final at the Asian Para Games 2026 especially notable?
- A.She equalled the world record in the class
- B.She set a new Games Record while winning gold
- C.She won the race after a photo finish
- D.She won India's first medal of the meet
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that she set a new Games Record while winning gold. The achievement recorded for Simran is a gold medal in the Women's 100m T12 won with an outstanding timing that bettered the existing Games Record, which is the best mark set in that event across the editions of the Asian Para Games staged so far. Option A speaks of a world record, a mark set anywhere in the world rather than at these Games, and no world record was claimed for this run. Option C describes the manner of the finish, which was not the point of note; what was singled out was the quality of the timing. Option D makes a claim about India's first medal of the meet, which is a different kind of distinction and was not what this result represented. Aspirants should keep the Games Record, the Asian record and the world record clearly apart, because question setters often swap one for another.
