What made Soumya's win in the women's 1500m T12/13 at the Asian Para Games 2026 notable?
- A.She won on her debut at the Games and clocked a personal best
- B.She set a new world record in the final
- C.She won a second gold in the same event
- D.She ran the race without a guide runner
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that she won on her debut and with a personal best. Soumya was appearing at the Asian Para Games for the first time, and the run that won the women's 1500m T12/13 gold medal was also the fastest she had managed over the distance, which is why the Prime Minister's Office described it as a golden debut. Option B is wrong because the achievement was described as a personal best, not a world record; a world record has to better the best mark set anywhere in the world, which is a different standard altogether. Option C is wrong because this was her first appearance at the Games, so there was no earlier title in the event to defend. Option D is wrong because no such detail forms part of the result. Hold the two words together: debut and personal best.
