Who won the gold medal in the men's high jump T42/T63 at the Asian Para Games 2026 with a new Games Record?
- A.Varun Singh Bhati
- B.Rahul
- C.Shailesh Kumar
- D.Toman Kumar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Shailesh Kumar. He finished first in the men's high jump T42/T63 at these Games, and the height he cleared was better than any previously managed in the event at the competition, so the win also gave him a new Games Record. The Prime Minister described the jump as a magnificent performance and said it reflected his talent, steadiness and dedication. Option A is wrong because Varun Singh Bhati, although he competed in exactly the same classification on the same day, finished second and took the silver medal rather than the gold. Option B is wrong for a similar reason: Rahul was third in the final and won the bronze, the medal that completed the Indian sweep of the podium. Option D names an archer who featured in the mixed team event, not a jumper in this final at all. Aspirants should learn the podium in order, because examiners frequently ask for the silver or the bronze rather than the winner.
