“I feel like crying when I hear this. I still can’t believe it,” said an emotional Natalia Kaczmarek after the 400-meter final. The Polish athlete won the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics. “I dreamed of this medal, I’m proud of myself,” she said.
Natalia Kaczmarek won the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics in the 400 m race with a time of 48.98 s. The winner was Marileidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic, who improved the Olympic record – 48.17 s. The silver was won by Salwa Eid Naser from Bahrain – 48.53 s.
For me this is an incredible thing. I never imagined in my life that I would win a medal in the 400 meters. I won in the relays, but individually it’s a different matter and for me it tastes like gold – said the happy Pole on TVP Sport.
I knew I was prepared to run very fast, to set a personal record. – emphasized Kaczmarek.
Like I said, I’m not necessarily going to beat him because everyone is incredibly prepared. This is a fight for medals sometimes, but I’ve shown that I’m ready for it this season. – she added.
