When did your adventure with sport begin?
From an early age, I spent time with my parents at the stadium, but it's hard to say when it all started.
Do you play any other sports, do you ever try something different?
I am a very active person. It's hard for me to choose one passion, but at the moment it's definitely badminton.
Who or what motivates you to train regularly?
I want to be the best in the world, and striving for that is my biggest motivation.
What do you consider your greatest personal or professional success?
An 88.09 m throw in Białystok. It's an absolute Polish record.
What is your life motto?
You will never win if you never begin.
What is your biggest dream?
I would like to stay healthy for as long as possible. Then all my dreams will come true.
Who inspires you? Do you have an idol?
There are many athletes whom I follow and admire, but I don't think I have a specific idol.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
I hope to be enjoying my retirement from sport.
Your best result, most important record?
Setting the Polish record with a throw of 88.09 m with an 800 g discus.
What do you think: is breaking records a matter of luck or hard training?
He believes that it is actually a combination of both. You need both luck and hard training.
How do you spend your free time?
It varies greatly. When I'm at home, I mainly spend time with my child and wife, and at training camps I read books, play Counter Strike and relax.
If you weren't an athlete, you would be...?
That's a very difficult question. I think I could have gone anywhere, because I am a man of many passions.
