SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 2 Feb 2022 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q42

In which of the following categories did India NOT win any medal at the Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 2021?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Gymnastics.

India did not win any medals in gymnastics at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. In contrast, the country secured medals in other sports such as boxing, weightlifting, and athletics. Lovlina Borgohain earned a bronze medal in the women’s welterweight boxing category, Mirabai Chanu won silver in the women’s 49 kg weightlifting event, and Neeraj Chopra made history by claiming gold in the men’s javelin throw. Therefore, among the four sports—boxing, weightlifting, gymnastics, and athletics—gymnastics was the only discipline where India did not achieve a podium finish at the Tokyo Olympics.
