In which sport did Praveen Kumar Sobti won medals at the Asian Games?
Discus throw
The question asks in which athletic event Praveen Kumar Sobti won his Asian Games medals.
Praveen Kumar Sobti was a towering Indian track-and-field athlete and later a Border Security Force officer, best remembered by the public for portraying the mighty Bhima in B. R. Chopra's television serial 'Mahabharat'.
His athletic specialities were the throwing events, namely the discus throw and the hammer throw, which suited his exceptional height and strength.
He won a gold medal in the discus throw at the 1966 Asian Games in Bangkok and continued to represent India, also competing at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
He was never a competitive shooter, long jumper or wrestler, so those events do not match his record.
Hence Praveen Kumar Sobti won his Asian Games medals in the Discus throw.
