Which record did Praveen Kumar break while winning the Men's High Jump T64 gold at the Asian Para Games 2026?
- A.The world record in the event
- B.The Games Record set by himself
- C.The Asian record held by another jumper
- D.The national record in the long jump
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Games Record set by himself. The announcement of Praveen Kumar's gold said clearly that the magnificent jump with which he defended his title broke his own Games Record in the Men's High Jump T64 event, so the mark he improved was the one he had set at these Games earlier in his career. Option A is wrong because the record spoken of is a Games Record and not a world record. Option C is wrong on two counts: it names a different category of record and it attributes the earlier mark to another jumper, when the record broken belonged to Praveen Kumar himself. Option D is wrong because the event in question is the high jump and the record is a Games Record, not a national mark in the long jump. Examiners often ask whose record was broken, so the word to carry away is own.
