TOKYO, July 29

Without Simone Biles, America’s dominance of women’s gymnastics continued today with a gold in the individual all-around competition for the fifth Olympics in a row.

Sunisa Lee, the youngest member of the team, clinched the US spot in the history books in the final rotation of the floor exercise with a total score of 57.433.

“It’s crazy,” the 18-year-old Lee said. “It doesn’t feel like real life at all.”

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).
