Jan Fuller won gold and bronze for England at the World Parkinson’s Table Tennis Championships.

Held in Helsingborg, Sweden, the championships featured men’s and women’s showcase events which ran in parallel with the European Para Championships.

The rest of the classes were then held under the World Parkinson’s umbrella, with several competitors from England competing.

Fuller (pictured above) won the women’s showcase gold without dropping a game, winning her three group matches 3-0 and then the final against Elisabeth Ildal of Denmark, also 3-0 (12-10, 11-9, 11-8).

In the corresponding men’s competition, Scotland’s Brian Carson won a bronze.

Jan’s bronze came in the Women’s Singles Class 1, in which she was beaten 3-2 (8-11, 11-6, 11-9, 14-16, 14-12) by Spain’s Elvira Garcia, the eventual silver medallist, in the semi-finals.

In the Women’s Singles class two, both Lynn Tearse and Julie Norris of England reached the quarter-finals.

Tearse was narrowly defeated 3-2 (10-12, 10-12, 11-9, 11-9, 11-9) by Verena Hoellrigl of Austria, while Norris missed out 3-1 (9-11, 11-6, 11-6, 12-10) to Lynn Arnot of Scotland. Both winners went on to secure bronze medals.
