The best Polish tobogganer fell into the barrier with impetus. I ended up disastrously for him – with a fracture of the kneecap in his left knee and a very deep cut to the right leg, all the way to the tibia. Sochowicz has undergone an operation and is in a hospital in Chinese, which was prepared for the Olympic Games in Beijing.

“The position is clear: the Chinese must cover all the costs”

On the other hand, the Polish Tobogganing Sports Association, which in the negotiations that are to be concluded, joining, as we hear – a solid compensation for Sochowicz. At the site of our federation, also Jaku Wysocki, insp. Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Beijing.

Najstancja for a fatal concert in a Pole “On a serious investigation”

Tatera, we begin, two meetings have already taken place. – Our and FIL’s position is unequivocal: the organizing committee of the Beijing Olympics is obligated to all countries: transport from the ice track for renovation, surgery, treatment, representative transport to Poland, rehabilitation in Poland and finally compensation. FIL is determined to impose such a solution on the hosts of the Games. The Chinese notice that we have compensation from the insurer. I am true. We have good and appropriate.

Germany hits Chinese authorities after the Pole’s accident. Information is disappearing from the network

They erase the texts, but not the blame

Importantly, Tatera argues that the Chinese cutting down do not try to shake the blame. One can have such an impression, noting that the news about the Pole’s accident disappeared from the Chinese Internet.

– It’s not whose fault it is. Nobody disputes that the Chinese. They feel to the wine. Hence, all these gestures for apologies, that is, sending Mateusz to the network service, fruit and small Olympic puffs – says Tatera. – I have no doubts that the hosts of the games will cover all the costs of Mateusz’s treatment and recovery. I hope it will be before the official opening of the Olympics in Beijing. You just need to know that there is a Confucian way of life, that is, the decisions are made by the stars and above, so wait a moment for your attitude. As a former consul of the Republic of Poland in Beijing and the Olympic attache of the Polish Olympic Committee during the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, I understand it perfectly – he adds.

The Polish side does not disclose, the control is demanding Sochowicz for us. – We have to withdraw, but let me just say that it is not a small amount of money. I can say that the cost of the operation was around PLN 40,000. PLN, and the most expensive will be rehabilitation, which will cost several thousand euro – says Tatera.

The Chinese are afraid of an atomic rally. “They were informed by the president of FIL”

The Polish side is waiting until the next Friday for the first conclusion of the negotiations. And we are waiting for peace not only because the secretary knows Chinese customs and knows that you need to be patient and understanding. – On Wednesday, the president by phone with the FIL, Einars Fogelis. Including He informed that if there was no agreement that would be satisfactory for us, the matter would be referred to the International Olympic Committee. The Chinese do not decide about such a round by the president of FIL, informing us – Tatera tells us.

– FIL and IOC are not giving up. A commission of inquiry has been set up, it is working. The main negotiator is the director general of FIL, Christoph Schweiger, about whom coach Skowronski tells me that he is not so much a negotiator as a man who toughly puts threshold conditions on the representatives of the organizing committee of the Olympic Games. We thank him very much for his help – adds the secretary of PZSSan.

The aforementioned general director of FIL, accompanied by a coach of Polish tobogganers, visited Mateusz Sochowicz at the hospital. He told our player that everyone counted on his return to full fitness already at the Olympic Games, which will start in Beijing on February 4.

– Mateusz cares about this match very much. Everyone starts to believe that it is possible. Mateusz is doing very well. He has already started to get up, move on crutches and do weight exercises with a physiotherapist, Patryk Przerywacz. Our experienced physiotherapist cooperating with the staff, who accompanies our representatives, among others during the Olympics in Pyeongchang, he is waiting impatiently in the country. For Łukasz Jaworski, who now works at Rehasport in Poznań. Go in there for the national team coach and the player is to be checked by the medical clinic, and it is Sochowicz who wants rehabilitation after his introduction to the country – says Tatera.

Coming back next week. Life is a minor procedure

The return of the Polish tobogganist is a bit delayed. On Tuesday, on the website from Sport.pl, Sochowicz said that he would like to leave China as soon as possible. But he sees that he has really professional care from the medical team. Apparently, he has to agree to one more minor procedure.

– On Monday the Chinese doctors want to open the wound to Mateusz, clean it once more, check everything, dress it up and prepare it for the trip – says Tatera.

Nobody is looking for savings

Sochowicz’s journey to Poland will take place on a day-trip by a chartered plane, as proposed a few ago, only by plane. Sochowicz is to travel in business class, lying down.

For a certain saving for the Chinese. But it does not seem that the savings are being sought by force. “Doctors just say it’s not a risk,” says Tatera. – We make sure that Mateusz has everything he needs. For two days, he has been under the care of a psychologist from Poland, Ms Joanna Sajnog, who also works with the Polish basketball team. Mateusz, thanks to her, every day for hours and so it will be for the next ten – tells us Tatera. – For this and everything, the Chinese will certainly account for it Responsibly – summarizes the secretary general of the PZSSan.
