Karsten Warholm’s hopes of winning a third straight World Championships title were dashed while Britain’s Jake Wightman felled reigning Olympics 1,500m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen on a day of upsets on Tuesday.

Kristjan Ceh dethroned Olympics champion and 2019 winner Daniel Stahl in the discus final and Eleanor Patterson outdid Yaroslava Mahuchikh to win women’s high jump gold.

Norwegian Olympics champion Warholm, who tore his hamstring at the Rabat Diamond League meet in June, struggled down the final metres of the 400m hurdles to finish seventh as Brazilian Alison dos Santos took gold in 46.29 seconds.

In the 1,500m, Wightman took a surprise gold as he beat hot favourite Ingebrigtsen, with his father Geoff calling him home as the Hayward Field stadium announcer. “That’s my son and he’s world champion,” Geoff told the crowd. — Reuters

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).
