Star athlete Jyothi Yarraji smashed her own 100 metres hurdles national record while winning a bronze medal at the World University Games here today.

The 23-year-old Yarraji clocked 12.78 seconds to finish third in the women’s 100m hurdles final, bettering her earlier national mark of 12.82 recorded in October 2022.

Viktoria Forster of Slovakia won gold by clocking 12.72, while Yanni Wu of China took silver with a time of 12.76.

India’s Amlan Borgohain also won bronze in the men’s 200m race with a season’s best time of 20.55. The 25-year-old narrowly missed his own NR of 20.52. Tsebo Matsoso of South Africa won gold, while Japan’s Yudai Nishi was second.

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).
