Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Discus Throw.

Vinod Kumar was disqualified from the Men's Discus Throw F52 event at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021. He had initially won a bronze medal in the event, but his result was later declared void after a classification panel deemed him ineligible to compete in that particular category. This decision was made because the panel was unable to allocate him a sport class, and it was later revealed he had intentionally misrepresented his abilities during classification.
