Jakob Ingebrigtsen completed a golden double by capturing the men’s 1,500 metres title on the final day of the World Indoor Athletics Championships on Sunday, a day after the Norwegian claimed the 3,000m crown. Victory in 3 minutes, 38.79 seconds meant Ingebrigtsen also matched the feat of Ethiopian great Haile Gebrselassie who won the double at the 1999 indoor Worlds in Maebashi, Japan.

The 24-year-old had warmed up for the global meeting with a similar effort at the European indoors earlier this month. “Of course this is something special,” said Ingebrigtsen. “It’s very difficult to compare yourself against history and what others are doing. I’m only focusing on myself.”

The Olympics 5,000m champion was barely troubled after he took the lead midway.

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).
