In between the two bronze medals he recorded his greatest achievement by winning a gold medal in the Swaythling Cup (men's team event) at the 1973 World Table Tennis Championships as part of the Sweden team that contained Anders Johansson, Kjell Johansson, Stellan Bengtsson and Ingemar Wikström.[3][4][5]
