Who was the Flag bearer at Rio Olympics - 2016 opening ceremony for Indian Contingent ?
- (a)Shiv Keshvan
- (b)Neeraj Chopra
- (c)Sushil Kumar
- (d)Abhinav Bindra
Correct — D, Abhinav Bindra. India's first individual Olympic gold medallist (10 m air rifle, Beijing 2008), Bindra led the Indian contingent as flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics — the last Games he competed in before retiring.
- (a)Shiv Keshvan — Shiva Keshavan is a luger — he carried India's flag at the Winter Olympics, not at a Summer Games like Rio 2016.
- (b)Neeraj Chopra — Neeraj Chopra won India's Olympic gold in the javelin throw at Tokyo 2020.
- (c)Sushil Kumar — The wrestler was India's flag bearer at the London 2012 opening ceremony, not Rio 2016; he did not compete at Rio.
The flag bearer leads a nation's team into the Olympic opening ceremony and is usually a decorated, senior athlete. For India at Rio 2016 it was Abhinav Bindra, whose Beijing-2008 shooting gold was India's only individual Olympic gold at the time.
All the distractors are real Indian flag bearers or sports stars — but for other Games: Sushil Kumar (London 2012), Shiva Keshavan (Winter Olympics), Neeraj Chopra (Tokyo 2020 closing). Tie each name to the correct edition.
- Rio 2016 India opening-ceremony flag bearer: Abhinav Bindra (shooting)
- Bindra won India's first individual Olympic gold — 10 m air rifle, Beijing 2008
- London 2012 India flag bearer: Sushil Kumar (wrestling)
- Neeraj Chopra carried India's flag at the Tokyo 2020 closing ceremony after winning javelin gold there
- Matching a flag bearer to the wrong Games (Sushil Kumar was London 2012, not Rio 2016)
- Assuming Neeraj Chopra — he rose to prominence only after 2016
Usually 'who was India's flag bearer at Games X' or 'who won India's first individual Olympic gold'. Keep a name-to-Games table.
