BWF Worlds: Mum's the word for record-breaking shuttler Zilberman
At 25, Belarus-born Svetlana was considered too old to be picked for the Soviet Union's team for the championships when she was in the prime of her career. Now, almost four decades later, she is playing on the sport's highest stage and became the competition's oldest-ever winner when she and Misha won their first-round mixed doubles match on Monday. "They said I was old when I was 25 -- now I am a young woman," Svetlana told AFP on Tuesday.
