Injuries:

Start:

She took up athletics in Bialystok, Poland, and began shot put training at age 13. (radiogol.pl YouTube channel, 22 May 2020)

Reason:

"I was always involved in sport activities in school. I competed in local competitions in hurdles when I was in primary school. I wanted to attend an athletics class in the middle school, but as I gained weight and I couldn't do hurdles anymore. A coach from my class suggested I take up throwing. Discus didn't feel good in my hand, but shot put feels good. In my first competition I won, after only a few weeks of training, so I decided to stick with shot put." (radiogol.pl YouTube channel, 22 May 2020)

Ambition:

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and to win a gold medal at a major international event. "I want to stand on the top step of the podium and listen to the Polish anthem with tears in my eyes. No matter if it will be at the Olympic Games, world or European championships. It's my dream." (radiogol.pl YouTube channel, 22 May 2020)

Memorable:

Finishing fourth at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, Germany, and winning the shot put title at the 2016 National Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. (radiogol.pl YouTube channel, 22 May 2020)

EYES ON TOKYO
Her 2019 season was disrupted by injuries but she says the one-year postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to the COVID-19 pandemic will give her additional time to return to full fitness ahead of the Games. "I had long break in preparation period. There were times when I was unable to leave bed for two weeks, so it was really difficult. In addition, I am still a young athlete, so time works in my favour. This extra year is a big advantage for me." (radiogol.pl YouTube channel, 22 May 2020)

NEW COACH
She began working with coach Andrzej Naszko ahead of the 2020 season. "I am very happy about this decision.The biggest change is the atmosphere of work, I have a calmer head now and I am looking forward to seeing the effects of this change." (interia.pl, 16 Aug 2020)
