“With our heroines and heroes. Everyone is very proud of you!” – wrote Donald Tusk on the X platform.
The silver medalists and their coach Nikola Grbic took advantage of the invitation and went straight from Okęcie Airport to the Prime Minister’s Office. Among the Polish medalists, the meeting was also attended by the champion in sport climbing Aleksandra Mirosław, and the runners-up – mountain kayaker Klaudia Zwolińska and boxer Julia Szeremeta.
Mirosław sat at the table to the right of Prime Minister Tusk, and to his left sat the captain of the volleyball team, Bartosz Kurek. Zwolińska separated Wilfred Leon and Tomasz Fornal.
The Prime Minister congratulated everyone on their achievements and asked about problems related to their subjects.
Olympic athletes appreciated by the Prime Minister. “Everyone is very proud of you!”
To some extent, you saved the Olympics. – asked Sławomir Nitras, Minister of Sports and Tourism, to those present.
The Polish team for the Paris Olympic Games consisted of 211 people in 22 sports. They won 10 medals – one gold, four silver and five bronze – which gave them 42nd place in the ranking. Eight of the medals in this group were won by women.
It was a fruitful meeting in a relaxed atmosphere. We are very pleased with this invitation. – said Zwolińska after leaving the Prime Minister’s Office. The canoeist noted that she did not feel competent to talk about specific changes. She emphasized that the basis of Polish sport and Olympic medals are children, youth and sports clubs.
I was able to enjoy the medal. However, I have many obligations, including participating in world championships and World Cup competitions. I devote a lot of time to matters related to the auction of my medal. I will rest later. – summarized the Olympic vice-champion.
