Which Indian sprinter broke the Games Record in the heats of the men's 100m T47 at the Asian Para Games 2026 and then went on to win the silver medal?
- A.Banti
- B.Sukhchain
- C.Mohammad Basil M
- D.Ravi Rongali
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Mohammad Basil M. He broke the Games Record in the heats of the men's 100m T47, improved on his own mark in the final, and finished with the silver medal in that race. Option A, Banti, won his silver in the men's high jump T64, a field event rather than a sprint. Option B, Sukhchain, won a bronze in the men's javelin throw F55, so neither the discipline nor the medal matches. Option D, Ravi Rongali, took a bronze in the men's shot put F40, another throwing event. The result is worth remembering because it separates two ideas that aspirants often merge: setting a Games Record and standing on the top step of the podium. Basil did the first and still finished second, which makes him a favourite subject for a tricky question.
