Dominik Czaja, Mateusz Biskup, Mirosław Ziętarski, and Fabian Barański met expectations, securing a spot on the podium. From the start, the Dutch team took the lead and maintained it until the end, leaving the battle for the remaining medals to unfold behind them.
Intense Battle for Silver and Bronze
The fight for the silver and bronze medals saw a close contest between Poland and Italy. The Polish team steadily closed the gap on the Italians, and by the 500-meter mark before the finish, they were in a promising position for silver. However, in the final stretch, the Italian team managed to hold on and narrowly edged out the Poles, who finished just behind them.
Poland’s achievement in the men’s quadruple sculls highlights their strength in rowing at the Paris Olympics. In addition to the bronze medalists, another Polish team, comprising Martyna Radosz and Katarzyna Wełna, competed in the women’s double sculls. Despite not making it to the finals and heading to Final B, their participation underscores Poland’s strong presence in the sport.
