Belgrade, September 17

Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Bajrang Punia suffered a shock defeat in his quarterfinals bout but returned to medal contention as he entered the 65kg category repechage round at World Championships here today.

Bajrang succumbed to a technical superiority (10-0) defeat to 23-year-old Yianni Diakomihalis of the USA in a quarterfinals bout. However, he gets a shot at bronze via after Diakomihalis reached the final.

Sagar Jaglan’s quest for a bronze medal in 74kg category ended as the 18-year-old lost to reigning Asian champion Yones Aliakbar Emami of Iran 6-0.

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).
