Włodzimierz Szaranowicz struggles with Parkinson’s disease, the first symptoms of which he noticed in 2015.
The disease made itself known, among other things, during the oath-taking of Polish athletes before the Paris Olympics. During the speech, he lost the thread
Szaranowicz wanted to be an athlete. His career was interrupted by a skiing accident. He was threatened with amputation.
For decades I have been regularly riding my bike. What was my last ride like? I rode up to my house and fell. I got pretty banged up. The doctor said I had to give up my bike.
— Włodzimierz Szaranowicz said in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.
Włodzimierz Szaranowicz retired from journalism in 2019. Before that, he had been commentating on key sports events in Poland and around the world for 43 years. His decision was dictated by his deteriorating health caused by Parkinson’s disease.
The rest of the article can be found below the video:
The journalist admitted in an interview with TVP Sport that he had the first symptoms 4 years earlier. He noticed problems associating facts and his reaction to stress was getting worse. However, as he himself admitted, he thought that “the engine was starting to seize up a bit”.
Szaranowicz admitted that he suffers from Parkinson’s disease
Szaranowicz’s illness made itself known in early July, during the oath-taking of Polish athletes before the Olympic Games in Paris. The journalist was given the title of honorary press attaché of the Polish Olympic Committee.
After all, Szaranowicz began to deliver a speech and suddenly stopped. The silence was broken by applause. After a while, the thought returned and the journalist finished his speech. We wrote about it here: Włodzimierz Szaranowicz: I have been suffering from Parkinson’s for four years. “I am aware of my health condition”
As he himself admits, the journalist is afraid of public speaking. His fear stems from “lack of strength”.
Now that I am functioning at a slow speed, it is quite okay. If I go out, I regain my verve in speaking, my mind works better. The most troublesome thing is everyday life
— the long-time TVP journalist noted in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.
The doctor wanted to amputate Szaranowicz’s leg
Włodzimierz Szaranowicz has taken care of his body and physical condition practically all his life, including running. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Physical Education, as a basketball coach. During his studies, he played for the capital’s AZS.
His sports career was interrupted by an injury. While skiing, he caught a root and broke his leg. The doctor suggested amputating the limb. Szaranowicz refused. Eventually, everything healed.
