Sułek began the day with a 60-meter hurdle run, setting a personal record of 8.21 seconds. She then continued on to the high jump event, leaping 189 cm, and secured her place in second. In the shot-put competition, while she attained a personal best of 13.89m indoors, she ultimately ended up in seventh place.
The fourth competition – the long jump – was another competition for Adrianna Sułek. She jumped as high as 6.62 metres and won the competition.
In the last competition, the 800-meter run she won! From the start, she held onto the lead until she came out on top. With a huge lead, she won the competition!
Unfortunately, despite her fabulous performance, she remained second with an overall score of 5014. At the same time, she set a new Poland record.
