Which pair of medals did India win on 28 September at the Asian Games 2026, as noted above?
- A.A gold in shooting and a silver in kurash
- B.A silver in shooting and a bronze in kurash
- C.A bronze in shooting and a silver in kurash
- D.A silver in shooting and a gold in kurash
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is a silver in shooting and a bronze in kurash. Esha Singh took the silver in the women's 25m pistol individual event, while Pinkcy Balhara took the bronze in the women's 78kg kurash event, and both results came on the same day at the Asian Games 2026. Option A is wrong because the shooting medal was a silver and not a gold, and the kurash medal was a bronze. Option C reverses the colours of the two medals, placing the bronze in shooting and the silver in kurash. Option D wrongly upgrades the kurash medal to gold. This kind of question tests whether a candidate has kept the medal colour attached to the right sport, which is why the athlete, the sport and the colour are best revised together rather than separately.
