– I was definitely spinning too slowly in the circle, but I know I still have some reserve – she admitted in an interview with a Eurosport journalist. – I was very calm. I don’t know why I was so calm. The most important thing is that I qualified. The qualifiers are over, now I have to focus on the final – she added.

– Bravo Anita – with these words and applause the people gathered in the fan zone at the Brewicz restaurant congratulated the player.

The athlete was also cheered on by her relatives and the inhabitants of the Rawicz region in Paris.

– She is an outstanding athlete and just think how much is 4 cm at 74 meters? But sometimes sports are unfair. Respect for her excellent attitude and fighting for a medal until the end. All those tourists who went on the Olympic trip should finally follow her heroic attitude for so many years. Thank you Anita for so many beautiful years of emotions! – admitted one of the Internet users on the rawich24.pl profile on Facebook. – Respect for the fight! 4 cm and she would have won bronze. You could see that she didn’t give up. 4, 1, 1, 1, 4 such places at the Olympics since her debut. There won’t be such a champion in this sport for a long time – added another.

Behind Anita Włodarczyk, her fifth Olympic Games. She has three golds in her collection – from London, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. In her debut in Beijing, in 2008, she was sixth, but ultimately – after the disqualification of two competitors preceding her – she was placed fourth.
