He got to know her story unfolded completely differently, because coach Malwina Wojtulewicz saw in this comfortable coach, who in the past led Wojciech Nowicki and Joanna Fiodorow to others. Ewa Różańska trusted her to such an extent that a properly configured person moved from Warsaw and settled in Czarna Białostocka, where Wojtulewicz created a training center.
– at first I was not convinced, by writing a cooperation, but Ewa put the matter on a knife edge and ends that if I do not agree to train her, she leaves Warsaw and sports for. I knew that he was not joking, that he had great potential, I agreed to cooperate. Ewa reached Czarna Białostocka, and for the last six months she trained under my practical supervision twice a day. I saw it all the time, so I saw it – as for technique, I explain Wojtulewicz.
Former group size
Różańska has distinguished herself with her talent for several years, she was alone in the training group at AZS AWF Warsaw, but not only among women, but also among men. Until this season of their history, training sessions are divided into three competitions, i.e. hammer throw, discus and shot put, and they only started on the hammer.

Still, she can surprise her trainer. Its nature, and which may well introduce one of the situations, happened during a recent training camp.
– At the end of the gym class, Ewa came up to me and asked if she had anything else to do. She only left her three squats with a barbell weighing 180 kilograms. I asked myself for one, because I was sure, that after the tiring Ewa, she would not be able to do this technique and begin to understand the joke. I lost the field of view in which she would have appeared if I had had more for her, because she had already done the previous ones. I thought she was screwing me on, but she has now. I was glad that she didn’t hurt herself – says Wojtulewicz.
That only the beginning of success
A Polish woman has amazing possibilities, because squats with a barbell weighing 200 kg are not great opportunities for her. In the allegation of her record it is 112 kilograms, in the tearing of 80 kilograms, despite the fact that both competitions were technically damaged.
In the interview, however, the trainer lived right after the Wednesday Różańska competition “after her trainer that she forbade her to train hard in the gym. It turns out, however, that lighter strength training results in better handling, growth and results not only on the projection, but also in the gym. .
– Recently, coaches from the one they would have saw her and I immediately had opportunities. Fortunately, Ewa focuses only on throwing the hammer, and I hope that she will be throwing 75-77 meters soon. We have ambitious plans for the 2024 Games. Everything is going better with the plan so far, and mine has a lot to improve. During the Wednesday competition only the last throw will be successful, because Ewa was not too tense and made mistakes – the coach reveals.
It was no surprise
Różańska’s result was a very pleasant surprise for all observers, but Wojtulewicz was in line. The coach was convinced that her player would be thrown in 72 meters. Nobody, however, expected that the rivals would suffer such a weakness and such a result is enough for the silver medal.
– I got a diamond and now I just need to grind it. Many words of appreciation to my friend Marcin Góra, his workouts for the training gym, that now I can watch my workouts without worrying about the power. We also have a lot to improve in the mental sphere, because Ewa is very shy. Before the final, she gave up and withstood this competition, but when she improved mentally, she immediately knew that she would improve her personal best – she adds.
