Who won India's 100th medal at the Asian Para Games, and in which event?
- A.Haney, men's javelin throw F37/F38
- B.Sandeep Kumar, men's 400m T64
- C.Nitesh Kumar, men's singles SL3
- D.Naveen Sivakumar, men's singles SL4
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Sandeep Kumar in the men's 400m T64. Competing at the Asian Para Games for the first time, Sandeep Kumar won the gold in that sprint and set a new world record, and the medal was counted as India's 100th at these Games, which is why the Prime Minister described it as a proud milestone for the nation. Option A is wrong because Haney's gold and world record came in the men's javelin throw F37/F38, a field event, and no milestone of the hundredth medal was attached to it. Option C is wrong because Nitesh Kumar's gold came in badminton, in the men's singles SL3 class, where Pramod Bhagat finished with the silver. Option D is wrong because Naveen Sivakumar won the badminton men's singles SL4 title, which was described as a memorable debut but not as the hundredth medal. Only one of the four medals carried the milestone, and it was the track gold won by the debutant Sandeep Kumar.
