Victoria is one of world's best
A Wolverhampton table tennis player is eyeing a climb up the world rankings after finishing fifth in a top European competition.
Victoria Bromley, from Linton Road in Penn, starred for Great Britain in the first Inas European Championships for people with learning difficulties in Poland.
The 21-year-old finished fifth in the singles but claimed a bronze medal in the doubles with partner Jacqueline Smith, from the east of England.
Bromley's success at the championships is the latest in string of fine performances from the the Woodfield Table Tennis Club member, who only started playing six years ago.
She is already ranked Great Britain's No1 player and is currently fifth in the world rankings after reaching the semi-finals of the World Games in Portugal last December.
Bromley was ranked ninth in the world that championship, during which she also collected another bronze medal in the doubles, this time with sister Nicola.
Coach Kevin Watt said he was pleased with his young protege's progress.
"Victoria just really loves playing, but more than that she really likes to win," he said.
"She's really competitive. She's been the No1 player in the country for a while now and she's worked very hard to get to fifth in the world.
"She had a very good tournament in Poland and hopefully she can make further progress up the world rankings over the next few years."
