Chandigarh, June 12

Two-time World Championships gold medallist Karsten Warholm posted a stunning 33.78 seconds world best in the 300m hurdles in the Impossible Games of the Wanda Diamond League in Oslo on Thursday.

Norwegian star athlete Warholm lit up the exhibition event at the unusually empty Bislett Stadium. Warholm, who won 400m hurdles gold at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships, was the sole competitor in his race.

Warholm’s time was well within the previous mark of 34.48s, set by Great Britain’s Chris Rawlinson in 2002, and under Kevin Young’s 400m world record split (34.1s).

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).
