Aleksandra Mirosław with a time of 6.35 in the first race advanced to the semifinals, a moment later Aleksandra Kałucka with a time of 6.49 also gained a certain place in the semifinals. The competitors met in the semifinal race. They ran almost evenly, and Aleksandra Mirosław dominated the competition with a time of 6.19, gaining the opportunity to fight for the gold medal. Aleksandra Kałucka, on the other hand, finished the race with a time of 6.34, thus breaking her personal record and continued the competition in the race for the bronze medal. What emotions!

This is the fulfillment of a dream and training plan developed with her coach and husband Mateusz Mirosław in 1000%. Aleksandra Kałucka achieves a time of 6.53 and a bronze medal. We can observe exceptional emotion.


A lot is going on in my head. I am very happy. This is the hard work that my coaching staff and I have done over the past few months and it has paid off. We have been preparing for this and I have done my job - Aleksandra Mirosław told Eurosport right after the competition.


The medal is very heavy. For me, it has a huge, double meaning, not only for an athlete, but I am also glad that I could win it as a soldier of the Polish Army. This is a dream come true for me […] My team consists of not only my husband - a coach, but also a dietician, two physiotherapists (one is here with us, the other is in Lublin), a psychologist, my manager. All the support that I receive around me, that's why I could prepare for the Games in peace. These were difficult preparations, but they paid off. […] I would like to dedicate this medal to my entire Team, my family, my sister is here. I am glad that I won this medal in front of them - adds Aleksandra Mirosław in an interview with Europsport.


I don't know what happened. I am very grateful. I would like to thank my sister, without whom I would not be here. It is unreal for me, I have an emotional rollercoaster - Aleksandra Kałucka comments live in an interview with Eurosport.
