Who won the bronze medal for India in the men's 50m freestyle S13 at the Asian Para Games 2026?
- A.Kapil Kumar
- B.Suhas L. Yathiraj
- C.Ravi Karthik Budigina
- D.Shubham Wadhwa
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Ravi Karthik Budigina. He finished third in the men's 50m freestyle S13 sprint, and the Prime Minister said he was very proud of the achievement and described the swimmer's passion and commitment as noteworthy. Option A is wrong because Kapil Kumar won the other Indian swimming medal of the day, a silver, and he did so over the much longer distance of 400m in the S10 class rather than in this sprint. Option B names a para badminton player, not a swimmer, so he could not have featured in a pool event. Option D also belongs to a racquet discipline rather than swimming. For revision it helps to remember that India's two swimming medals that day came from opposite ends of the distance range, one sprint and one long freestyle race, and both in the freestyle stroke.
