New Delhi, July 22

Celebrated hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh today announced that he will bid adieu to the game after the Paris Olympics, ending a career that spanned 18 years. The 36-year-old, a veteran of 328 international caps, will be playing in his fourth Olympics. “As I prepare for my last dance in Paris, I look back with immense pride and forward with hope,” Sreejesh said. “This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary,” he added.

After making his debut at the 2006 South Asian Games, Sreejesh won two Asian Games gold and two Commonwealth Games silver. But the bronze in the Tokyo Olympics is his most cherished possession, which he now wants to better in his last dance at Paris.

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.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
