Which stroke produced both of India's swimming medals on 22 October at the Asian Para Games 2026?
- A.Butterfly
- B.Breaststroke
- C.Backstroke
- D.Freestyle
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is freestyle. Kapil Kumar's silver came in the men's 400m freestyle S10 and Ravi Karthik Budigina's bronze in the men's 50m freestyle S13, so although the distances and the classifications were different, the stroke was the same in both races. Option A is wrong because no butterfly medal featured among the Indian results of that day, even though butterfly events do fall under the same S classification system. Option B is wrong because breaststroke is classified separately with the SB prefix and produced no Indian medal here. Option C is wrong for the same reason as butterfly: backstroke shares the S prefix with freestyle, which makes it a plausible distractor, but neither of the two medals was won in that stroke. The safest way to revise this is to fix the pairing of swimmer, distance, class and stroke together.
