The question asks which of the 2018 Commonwealth Games Gold medallists contested the 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly elections successfully. To solve this, we need to identify the individual who, apart from having won a gold medal in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, also engaged in the political landscape of Bihar by contesting in the elections.
Let's analyze the options:
- Manu Bhaker: An Indian shooter, she indeed won gold medals at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. However, as of recent reports, she has not contested in any political elections.
- Tejaswini Samant: Another successful shooter, she has excelled in her sport, but there is no record of her participating in Bihar politics.
- Heena Sidhu: A well-known shooter who has represented India internationally, but like the others, there’s no information about her involvement in the Bihar elections.
- Manika Batra: Renowned for her achievements in table tennis at the Commonwealth Games, she hasn't been known to participate in Bihar elections.
- Shreyashi Singh: She is a shooter who won a gold medal in the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Shreyashi Singh contested and won the Bihar Legislative Assembly elections in 2020 from the Jamui constituency as a candidate from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Based on the analysis, Shreyashi Singh is the only correct option who fits all criteria: A Commonwealth Games 2018 gold medallist and a successful politician in the 2020 Bihar elections.
Therefore, the correct answer is Shreyashi Singh.

Top Questions on Sports and Physical Education
Indian Chess recorded yet another great moment on Monday, as Divya Deshmukh won the Women’s World Cup in the Georgian city of Batumi. In the final, the 19-year-old defeated fellow-Indian Koneru Humpy in the tiebreakers. While Humpy contesting the final wasn’t much of a surprise—she is the World No. 5 and has been one of the best female players for the last couple of decades—not many would have anticipated Divya’s stunning show. But, given her obvious talent and the way she has been playing for the past two years, it didn’t come as a big surprise. By winning the World Cup, one of the biggest events organized by the world chess governing body FIDE, Divya also achieved another significant milestone. She became India’s 88th Grandmaster and is only the fourth Indian woman after Humpy, D. Harika and R. Vaishali to get that coveted title. Last year, Divya won the World junior championship in Ahmedabad with a dominant display. She also played a key role in India’s historic gold in the Chess Olympiad at Budapest. India was the top seed there, though. At the World Cup, the Indian women exceeded expectations, with four of them making it to the quarterfinals. (198 words)
