Almaty, June 5

Bajrang Punia claimed a bronze medal even as Aman won his first gold medal at the senior level with a commanding show in the 57kg competition at the Bolat Turlykhanov Cup here today.

Bajrang struggled in his opening bout of the 65kg category, losing 3-5 to Uzbekistan’s Abbos Rakhmonov.

Rakhmonov reached the final, giving the 28-year-old Indian the opportunity to fight for a bronze. In the bronze medal playoff, Bajrang beat Kazkahstan’s Rifat Saibotalov 7-0.

Aman, who trains with Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Ravi Dahiya, began with a 15-12 win over Meirambek Kartbay. He followed that up with a win by technical superiority over Abdymalik Karachov. In the final, he edged out Kazakhstan’s Merey Bazarbayev 10-9 to stay unbeaten in the five-wrestler category to claim gold. It was Aman’s third medal this season, having won a silver and bronze each.

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).
