Polish TT champion dies of cancer
"WARSAW, Poland: Andrzej Grubba, considered Poland's best
table tennis layer of the past 50 years, died Thursday aged
47 after a yearlong struggle with lung cancer. A three-time
bronze medallist at world championships, Grubba also racked
up 11 medals at the European Table Tennis Championship and
26 in the Polish championship.
Grubba retired nine years ago
and is survived by his wife, a former Poland handball
player, and two sons aged 14 and 20, according to Marek
Rzemek, a trainer at the Polish Table Tennis Federation. "Andrzej was definitely Poland's best table tennis player
since World War II," Rzemek said. "His greatest strength was
his incredible endurance." There was no announcement about
the funeral arrangements."
