SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

PT Usha

The question asks which Indian athlete holds the record for the most Asian Games medals as of 31 July 2025.

PT Usha, the legendary track-and-field sprinter, holds the record for the most Asian Games medals won by an Indian athlete.

She won a total of eleven medals across the Asian Games during her illustrious career, earning the nickname 'Payyoli Express'.

KD Jadhav (option A) was India's first individual Olympic medallist in wrestling, but he does not hold the Asian Games medal record.

Sachin Nag (option B) was a swimmer and Dutee Chand (option D) is a sprinter, but neither matches PT Usha's Asian Games medal tally.

PT Usha's dominance in the 1980s Asian Games made her one of India's greatest athletes and later the President of the Indian Olympic Association.

Hence the correct answer is PT Usha.

PT Usha holds the record for the most Asian Games medals by an Indian athlete.
