Paris, July 28

Two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen powered into the women’s 50kg pre-quarterfinals with a tenacious victory over Germany’s Maxi Carina Kloetzer here today.

Trailing on three cards after the first round, the 28-year-old Indian prevailed by a 5-0 margin against the German in a rather messy Round of 32 contest. The unseeded Zareen is making her Games debut and is a strong medal contender. Zareen, who has been handed a tough draw, will take on top-seeded Asian Games and reigning flyweight world champion Wu Yu of China on Thursday.

Asian Games bronze medallist Preeti Pawar began her campaign on a rousing note as she picked a unanimous decision win over Vietnam’s Vo Thi Kim Anh to move to the pre-quarterfinals in the women’s 54kg.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
