When did your adventure with sports begin?
I remember that since I was 6 years old, I've been trying various activities, such as gymnastics and judo. My adventure with archery began when I was 13, and I fell in love with it very quickly.
Do you practice any other sports? Do you sometimes try something different?
I also go to the swimming pool and the gym, but this is more of a supplement to my archery training. I also enjoy walking and hiking.
Who or what motivates you to train systematically?
My grandfather is my biggest true supporter, who makes me want to be the best I can be. He has always supported and motivated me.
What do you consider your greatest success in life or career?
4th place at the Olympics
Your life motto?
You always have to believe in the best.
Your biggest dream?
Olympic gold medal
Who inspires you? Do you have an idol?
I've never had an idol.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
Happy and sharing my experience with others.
Your best result, your most important record?
4th place at the Tokyo Olympics, 1st place at the Military Games, two Polish youth records
Do you think breaking records is a matter of luck or hard training?
In archery, it depends on everything, but the most important thing is training. What will the weather be like, the wind, what the competitions are like, what shape you're in, and how you prepare mentally.
How do you spend your free time?
I walk my dog, read books, or learn foreign languages.
If you weren't an athlete, you would...?
A translator or a painter.
