Allaying fears of an injury after suffering a fall during the Kuortane Games in Finland, Olympics champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra said he is looking forward to starting his Diamond League season in Stockholm on June 30. The 24-year-old Chopra slipped after his third attempt yesterday. The run-up area was wet and slippery due to rain. Chopra lost his balance after releasing the spear and had a nasty fall with his left shoulder hitting the floor.

Chopra won the competition with his opening throw of 86.69 metres. “Tough conditions with the weather, but happy to get my first win of the season,” Chopra wrote in an Instagram post. “I am feeling good and looking forward to starting my Diamond League season.”

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).
