Which Indian athlete added a bronze in the Men's 100m T44 at the Asian Para Games to a gold he had already won in the 400m with a world record?
- A.Rakeshbhai Bhatt
- B.Sandeep
- C.Sandip Sanjay Sargar
- D.Mahendra Gurjar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Sandeep. He won the bronze in the Men's 100m T44 sprint, and the Prime Minister noted that adding this medal to his gold-winning world record performance in the 400m made it a memorable campaign for him at these Games. Option A is wrong because Rakeshbhai Bhatt's bronze came in the Men's 200m T37, and the Prime Minister pointed out that it was his second bronze of this edition rather than a companion to any gold. Option C is wrong because Sandip Sanjay Sargar was the third of the three Indian javelin medallists, taking the bronze in the Men's Javelin Throw with a Games Record. Option D is wrong because Mahendra Gurjar won the silver in that same javelin final, also with a Games Record. Only Sandeep paired a sprint bronze with a world record gold over the longer distance.
