World Cup: Polish golden relay race beyond the podium
- Before the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Poland sensationally won the gold medal in the 4×400 m relay race. Now Biało-Czerwoni was just behind the podium
- The confusion with Anna Kiełbasińska certainly influenced what happened
- Poles were still counting on occasional packaging, because of course the regulations did not keep the winning representation of the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic won – 3.09.82 ahead of the Netherlands – 3.09.90 and the USA – 3.10.16. Poland, 04a time: 3.12.31 (times of our employees in the same order as above: 45.72 51.22; 45; 50.33).
Immediately after the race, our representatives had a long discussion with the judges. It turned out that there was a problem with the world champions. In the Dominican Republic, because of science, I wrote DNS, which means that it did not stand at the start.
– Not all players of the Dominican Republic appeared in the call room and the judges have even announced the DNS. Before leaving the stadium, however, it turned out that they would run, because I know that they only received a yellow card – said Zalewski.
In the beginning of ten, it runs very well. You moved our team to a different position.
– Everyone around, after the success in Tokyo, said that now the medal in the mix will be efficient for us. However, I knew that it would not be so. The atmosphere is ruled by the rules because I know the rules – our sprinter said.
Ersetic, who was stopped before the World Cup in health problems, did weaker than usual. After the end of her activity, she was so hoarse that she could barely speak. For this performed also veneered Achilles cuts and teipas.
– I did what I could, but at the ends I felt that my electricity was cut off. Previously, now from what we have – the next day of the next European champion, who only followed and enrolled in the champions of the old continent.
– I had choices in the back that you should not hide your head in the copy, that you need to finish. That’s why I’m glad to be here. I hope that I managed to train for the relay competition – she added.
Taking turns with a change, this time he ran, who opened the next qualifying rounds and paid dearly for them.
– It was a very good day for me and it cost me my strength. After the qualifying rounds, it hit me mentally. I knew that I had to run in the evening after it will be removed. I am glad that I managed to repeat it – admitted Duszyński.
In the last shift, she was the first rested in the Polish team Kaczmarek, which did not start in the qualifying rounds. She did what she could, but it was enough to make a fourth deposit.
– The top three were beyond my reach. Fourth place and in this situation.
