MARIA ANDREJCZYK JOINS OLIMP TEAM!

At the Olympics in Rio, she was a sensation of the Polish athletics team. She sensationally won the javelin throw qualifications, and in the Olympic finals she lost the bronze medal by 3 centimeters to the two-time Olympic champion and the current world record holder, Barbara Spotakova from the Chech Republic. – The fact that I won the qualifications was a huge a shock for me. I managed to throw over 67 meters and it was simply a world-class result. Then I started to contact people in Poland too much and I did not focus enough on the competition itself. I should not have made this mistake, but I was only 20 at that time ... Anyway, I cannot say that I am disappointed with my performance in the finals. 4th place, right behind Spotakova - the legend of our discipline - was a great result and it is still the best achievement in my career - says Andrejczyk.

Maria's career looked brilliant. Rapid progress, great potential and a lot of youth charm, which sold well in the media. Unfortunately, all plans collapsed like a house of cards just after the Olympics. - After the success at the Olympics in Rio, the most horrible thing that could happen to a javelin thrower happened to me. I got a shoulder injury. With my throwing technique, where a strong arm is the key, I knew I was going to be in trouble, but I never thought it would last that long. The rehabilitation lasted for weeks, months, until it became years, but I didn't give up - she claims.

Full recovery and returning to the top shape took good three years. Manyathletes would have probably chosen "life after life" and given up professional sportin favor of a differentjob - Maria has a degree in English philology (with Russian language). But itwouldn'thave been me – I am a stubborn girl from Suwałki Region so giving up is not my style. - Of course, there were moments of doubt, but the thoughts I shared with my loved ones about quitting the javelinand doing something else were not really what I felt deep inside. At that very moment I needed support from my parents and my fiancé, because saying goodbye to professional sport was not my style. What is more, I think that all the difficulties that I went through made me stronger and I am coming back to the game even stronger than before. I believe that the best things in my career are still ahead of me, but I prefer not to talk about my sport dreams and goals–this is what recent years have taught me. I am convinced that the cooperation with Olimp brand in the GOForIt program will help me fulfill them - she sums up.
