Which medal did Avani Lekhara win in the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 event at the Asian Para Games 2026?

  1. A.Gold
  2. B.Silver
  3. C.Bronze
  4. D.She finished fourth and won no medal

Correct answer

B. Silver

Explanation

The correct answer is silver. Avani Lekhara shot an impressive score in the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 final at the Asian Para Games 2026 and finished second, which gave her the silver medal. Her consistency from one championship to the next was praised, and the Prime Minister wished her well for the events still ahead of her at the Games. Option A, gold, is wrong because the gold in this event went to her compatriot Mona Agarwal, whose score also set a new Asian Para Games record. Option C, bronze, is wrong because she finished ahead of the third-placed shooter and took the second step of the podium. Option D is wrong because she very much finished on the podium. The point to carry into the examination hall is that one event produced two Indian medals on the opening day: gold for Mona Agarwal and silver for Avani Lekhara.
