Jaspooran Singh is the lone Indian wrestler left in the medal contention in men’s freestyle competition as he made it to the 110kg bronze play-off at the U17 World Championship while all his compatriots exited the Cadets event.

Jaspooran had lost his first round but bounced back after winning his repechage round by fall against Japan’s Yuki Yamamoto.

Jaspooran is now up against Iran’s Abolfazl Mohammad Nezhad.

Shivam (45kg) lost in the quarterfinals against Dzhamal Bakaev by technical superiority after a tough win against Ukraine’s Mykhailo Didoshak. If Bakaev win his semifinal, repechage route will open up for Shivam.

In 51kg, Kartik bowed out after losing his opening round 4-10 to Turkey’s Tugrul Demirci, who later lost his pre-quarterfinal bout, closing the door on his Indian rival.

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).
