Parkinson's: Table tennis bronze leaves Welshman emotional

After he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, Martyn Symons never dreamed he would one day play table tennis for Wales.

But years later, he has won a bronze for Wales at the Ping Pong Parkinson's UK National Championship.

"To be there, wearing the three feathers, it was like nothing I ever thought would happen," he said.
