Which Indian shuttler moved from bronze in the previous edition to silver in women's singles SH6 at the Asian Para Games?
- A.Thulasimathi Murugesan
- B.Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan
- C.Pooja Jatyan
- D.Bhawna Choudhary
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan. She won the silver in the women's singles SH6 class, and the Prime Minister noted that moving from the bronze of the previous edition to a silver this time was a fine step forward for her. Option A is wrong because Thulasimathi Murugesan won her silver in the women's singles SU5 class, a different sport class, and no comparison with a previous bronze was attached to that result. Options C and D are wrong because Pooja Jatyan and Bhawna Choudhary are archers, not shuttlers: they won the silver together in women's recurve doubles, India's first medal in that event at the Games. Candidates should remember that badminton sport classes such as SL3, SL4, SU5 and SH6 describe the type and extent of impairment, and questions often test which athlete belongs to which class.
