Which medal did Radha Venkatesh win in the women's 1500m T12/13 at the Asian Para Games 2026?
- A.Gold
- B.Silver
- C.Bronze
- D.She did not finish the race
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is silver. Radha Venkatesh finished second in the women's 1500m T12/13 final at the Asian Para Games 2026, and the Prime Minister expressed pride in the achievement, said the country was celebrating her success and wished her many more achievements in the future. Option A, gold, is wrong because the title in this race went to her compatriot Soumya, who won on debut with a personal best timing. Option C, bronze, is wrong because she placed ahead of the third runner and stood on the second step of the podium. Option D is wrong because she completed the race and reached the medal places. The point worth carrying into the examination hall is that a single race gave India two medals on the same day, gold and silver, in that order of names.
