PETALING JAYA: Bruni Garip-Anthony Linggian went through great hardship to deliver a sole medal for Malaysia in the World Senior Championships with a bronze in the men’s doubles.

The Sabahans, who along with four others funded their own trip, stretched top seeds Peter Emptage-Rob Ridder of England before losing 21-19, 9-21, 11-21 in the semi-finals of the 65-69 age category in Huelva, Spain, yesterday.
