Who won the gold medal in the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 event at the Asian Para Games 2026?

  1. A.Avani Lekhara
  2. B.Mona Agarwal
  3. C.Rubina Francis
  4. D.Sheetal Devi

Correct answer

B. Mona Agarwal

Explanation

The correct answer is Mona Agarwal. She won the gold medal in the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 event at the Asian Para Games 2026, and the outstanding score she shot also set a new Asian Para Games record in that event. The medal arrived on India's opening day of competition at the Games, which is what made the day a notable one for the Indian contingent. Option A, Avani Lekhara, is wrong because she was in the very same final but finished with the silver medal rather than the gold; the two Indian shooters between them took the top two places. Option C, Rubina Francis, is wrong because the only two shooters named as medal winners in this event are Mona Agarwal and Avani Lekhara. Option D, Sheetal Devi, is wrong for the same reason, as she does not figure in this result at all. The pairing worth memorising is Mona Agarwal for the gold and the Games record, and Avani Lekhara for the silver.
