Gondomar (Portugal): The Indian men and women paddlers failed to deliver when it mattered most, losing to Slovenia and Romania, respectively, in the pre-quarterfinals of the Olympics qualifying team event to significantly reduce their chances of qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While the 17th seeded women played their hearts before losing to fifth seeds Romania 2-3, the men disappointed with their 1-3 defeat against Slovenia. A quarterfinals finish would have guaranteed an Olympics berth for the teams, but now, both the men’s and women’s squads have to win the plate division to qualify. All losers in the Round of 16 will take part in the knockout plate event. — 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).
