Polish sport knows the “Curse of the Standard” from the perspective related to age. Bit, however, is referred to in the context of the one-year games, in which, since 1992, none of the ensigns won a medal at the same event. In winter sports, the impotence of ensigns lasts from the first tender in the New Year’s Games. Aleksander Król, who will head the Polish delegation together with Zbigniew Bródka, does not pay attention.
– I am proud to be the standard bearer – the happy snowboarder tells us. – I’m not afraid of superstitions. I don’t believe in them. I just can’t wait to be at the head of our team on Friday – he adds.
The legend is next
The competitor will lead the Polish delegation during the opening ceremony of ZIO in Beijing together with Zbigniew Bródka. The pancake player will be in this position for the second time. He made his debut four years ago in Pyeongchang.

– I will walk alongside such a legend as Zbigniew Bródka. To the honor! – the snowboarder is happy. – I hope to improve Natalia Czerwonka in this role. I’m now getting her back on the ice quickly, like the rest of the Olympians in quarantine – available.
Aleksandra Król will take part in the Olympics for the third time. In 2014 in Sochi she was ninth and 12th in the parallel and parallel slalom competitions. Four years later in Pyeongchang she was 11th in the parallel giant slalom.
Shortly before the departure of Beijing, Poland had a good chance of winning the battle of Simonhoehe. There the King won her first World Cup victory.
However, the first hours in the Olympic Village in Zhangjiakou turned out to be an unpleasant surprise.
The jumpers helped
Aleksandra Król explains: – I am allergic to feathers, and mine are all pillows and quilts. The head of the Olympic mission managed to get me synthetic bedding, but couldn’t find anything. The Chinese made us wait two weeks. I was joking that it might be faster when I order it online.
Only the ski jumpers, who later flew to Beijing, came to the rescue. – I was in touch with Dawid Kubacki. He asked if we were missing anything. you will obtain that synthetic arrange me a pillow and quilt. They succeeded, for which I thank the whole team of jumpers!
Aleksandra Król’s start in ZIO is scheduled for February 8. The fans hope that the player continued the fight in the World Cup.
