Kolkata, July 15

World Cup-winning hockey legend Ashok Kumar today said it would be difficult for the Indian men’s team to keep up the momentum that seemed good enough for an Olympics medal had the Games been held as scheduled this year.

“If the Olympics were held this year, we definitely had some chance,” Kumar said. “Definitely, there is a break in momentum and it will really make a big difference.” — PTI

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).
