TOPS began in September 2014 and was revamped in 2018. India recorded its 107-medal Asian Games performance in 2023 and won double team gold at the 45th Chess Olympiad in 2024. Hence the correct order is A-B-C-D.

Paris Paralympics 2024 D. 45th Chess Olympiad List II (India marker) 1. Six medals, including three in shooting 2. Double team gold in the open and women's sections 3.

India won 107 medals at the Asian Games 2023; six at the Paris Olympics 2024, including three in shooting; and a best-ever 29 at the Paris Paralympics 2024. At the 45th Chess Olympiad, India won team gold in both the open and women's sections. The correct code is A-4, B-1, C-3, D-2.
Q3Consider the following statements regarding Khelo India and the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS): 1. Khelo India covers participation, infrastructure, competitions, talent development and inclusion. 2. TOPS targets elite Olympic and Paralympic medal prospects and has included support such as foreign training, equipment and competition exposure. Which one of the following is correct?
Both statements are correct. Khelo India builds the broad participation-to-talent pipeline, whereas TOPS provides targeted, high-level support to identified Olympic and Paralympic podium prospects. Treating the two as the same kind of programme would erase this distinction.
Q4With reference to the constitutional position of sports in India, consider the following statements: 1. Sports is expressly placed in Entry 33 of List II of the Seventh Schedule. 2. International sports participation may involve Union concerns relating to foreign affairs and treaty obligations. 3. Article 51A(j) creates an enforceable Fundamental Right to sports excellence. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Ordinary sports administration is primarily a State subject under Entry 33 of List II, while international participation may engage Union fields. Article 51A(j) is a Fundamental Duty to strive towards excellence, not an enforceable Fundamental Right.
Q5Consider the following statements regarding judicial review of sports bodies: 1. In Zee Telefilms Ltd. v. Union of India (2005), the Supreme Court held by majority that BCCI was not 'State' under Article 12. 2. That ruling necessarily prevents a High Court from reviewing BCCI's public functions under Article 226. Which one of the following is correct?
Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect. Zee Telefilms answered the narrower Article 12 status question. Article 226 is broader, and a private body performing public functions may still face writ review in an appropriate case.
