Which Indian athlete won the bronze medal in the women's high jump at the Asian Games 2026?
- A.Pooja
- B.Vithya Ramraj
- C.Neeru Dhanda
- D.Manisha Keer
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Pooja. She won the bronze medal in the women's high jump at the Asian Games 2026, and the medal carries extra weight because it is India's first in that event at the Asian Games in more than two decades. The Prime Minister called it a memorable achievement and wished her well for the future. Option B, Vithya Ramraj, is a track athlete associated with relay and hurdles events rather than the high jump, so she is not the answer. Option C, Neeru Dhanda, is a shooter and not a field athlete, which rules her out. Option D, Manisha Keer, is also from shooting and not from athletics, so she is incorrect as well. Aspirants should link Pooja with the high jump and with the fact that her medal ended a drought of over twenty years for India in this field event.
