Ranchi, May 18

Star hurdler Jyothi Yarraji claimed her second gold of the Federation Cup Athletics Championship by winning the women’s 200 metres race in style to hog the limelight on the concluding day here today.

Her winning time of 23.42 seconds was better than the Asian Athletics Championship qualifying mark of 23.50s set by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).

A day after winning the women’s 100m hurdles gold with a new meet record of 12.89s, Jyothi outshone Archana Suseendran, who clocked 23.61s to win silver.

Amlan Borgohain took the gold in the corresponding men’s 200m race in 20.83s.

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).
