The quartet of Pia Skrzyszowska, Kryscina Cimanowska, Magdalena Stefanowicz, and Ewa Swoboda left an indelible mark on the track as they secured a fifth-place finish, marking their best result ever in this highly competitive event.
The nail-biting final was a rollercoaster of emotions, featuring dramatic changes in the leaderboard. Once thought to be contenders for the podium, the Dutch and Ivorian teams faltered at a crucial moment, dropping out of the medal race after a single baton exchange.
Ultimately, the Polish team clinched fifth place, a historic achievement that sent waves of pride throughout the nation. This accomplishment marks the pinnacle of success for the Polish 4×100 meters relay team.
The gold medal might have been elusive for the Polish athletes, but the United States’ victory was a triumph in its own right. The American women blazed a trail to the finish line in a stunning 41.03 seconds, obliterating the world championship record and reaffirming their dominance in the relay event. Jamaica secured a well-deserved second place, clocking in at 41.21 seconds, while Great Britain’s swift exchange of the baton earned them the third spot with a time of 41.97 seconds.
Notably, even though the Polish women narrowly missed out on a podium finish, their 42.49-second run secured a commendable fifth place.
