Who among the following won the Dronacharya Award in Gymnastics for the year…

Concept

The Dronacharya Award is India's highest honour for excellence in sports coaching. It is conferred on coaches, not on athletes — the recipient is recognised for training and producing outstanding sportspersons. To answer such a question, identify the person who served as a coach (not the player) in the named discipline for that year.

Application

For the year 2016, the Dronacharya Award in Gymnastics went to Bishweshwar Nandi. He is the long-time coach of Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar, whom he guided to a historic 4th-place finish at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and he was honoured for his contribution to the development of gymnastics in India.

Cross-check

• Dipa Karmakar is the gymnast (athlete); the award for that discipline went to her coach, not to her.

• Lalita Babar competed in long-distance running / steeplechase — a different sport, and as an athlete rather than a coach.

• Rajendra Prahlad Shelke is associated with coaching in kabaddi, not gymnastics.
