– I'm just going to cry – she began – I'm so happy, everything I planned for this competition came true. I'm in total shock that it worked out and at such a high level. I'm so happy. I don't know what to say, I'm probably talking such nonsense that it's shocking! – she announced. She also added who she dedicated the medal to. – He ran next to me the entire route – she explained, speaking of her father, of course.
Two days were enough to clarify the top of the medal table of the Olympic Games in Paris. At the moment, the United States has won the most medals – 12, while the leader of the list is the Australians, who have four gold medals and two silver. Right behind these two teams is France with seven medals. The Polish team is in 16th place, so we can talk about an advancement compared to Saturday's list. At that time, we were not even listed. Klaudia Zwolińska's medal changed everything. Let's hope the next ones appear soon.
