Which two Indian athletes won medals in the Men’s Javelin Throw F53/54 event at the Asian Para Games 2026?

  1. A.Pradeep Kumar and Ayush Verma
  2. B.Pradeep Kumar and Praveen Sharma
  3. C.Ashok and Himanshu Nandal
  4. D.Ayush Verma and Praveen Sharma

Correct answer

A. Pradeep Kumar and Ayush Verma

Explanation

The correct answer is Pradeep Kumar and Ayush Verma. Both stood on the podium in the same Men’s Javelin Throw F53/54 event on 20 October 2026, Pradeep Kumar taking the silver and Ayush Verma the bronze, and each of them recorded a personal best. Option B replaces one of them with Praveen Sharma, whose bronze came in the shot put rather than the javelin. Option C names the powerlifter and the swimmer of the day, Ashok and Himanshu Nandal, whose medals came in entirely different sports. Option D again brings in the shot put medallist in place of the silver winner. Two Indians on the podium in a single event is the kind of detail a paper setter likes, because it can be asked as a pair and the distractors come ready made from the day’s other medals.
