Which Indian athlete won the bronze medal in the Women’s 200m T12 event at the Asian Para Games 2026 on her debut at the Games?

  1. A.Preeti Pal
  2. B.Simran
  3. C.Tejalben Damor
  4. D.Deepthi Jeevanji

Correct answer

C. Tejalben Damor

Explanation

The correct answer is Tejalben Damor. She took the bronze in the Women’s 200m T12 event at the Asian Para Games 2026 on 20 October 2026, and because she was competing at these Games for the first time, the Prime Minister described the result as a debut to cherish and praised the promise such a performance on a big international stage shows. Option A names a sprinter who did win a medal on the same day, but it was a silver and it came in a different class, the Women’s 200m T35. Option B names the winner of this very race rather than the bronze medallist, which is the most common way of confusing a two-medal result. Option D names another Indian gold medallist from the same day, whose title came in a longer track event in a different class, so it belongs to another race altogether. The reliable method is to record each medal with its colour, its athlete and its full event name together.
