The Pole was so close to the medal. 0.03 seconds were short of bronze

Polish skates have experienced a revival since the beginning of the year. . While also impressed with the form.

This time there was no place on the podium, but the fifth place during the Olympics still arouses respect. The more so because he was only 0.03 seconds away from the bronze medal! The result could have been slightly better had it not been for a slight stumble on the arc.

The 500 m race was won by Chinese Tingyu Gao, who broke the Olympic record with a score of 34.32. The silver was collected by Min-kyu Cha from South Korea. Wataru Morishige from Japan was also on the podium. Michalski was also overtaken by Canadian Laurent Dubreuil.

Michalski won the best place in the history of Polish sprinters. So far, the best result was recorded by Artur Wa¶, who was ninth in Sochi in 2014.

Other white-and-reds also competed in Beijing. Damian ¯urek finished 11th, and Marek Kania – 16th.

On Sunday, we will probably experience equally great emotions during the competition for 500 m women. At the starting line we will see And¿elika Wójcik and Kaja Ziomek.

– These games are very unhappy for both Piotr and his fiancée, Natalia Maliszewska. Had it not been for her story, they would both have won medals -.

Maliszewska’s fiancé and Formula 1 fan

Piotr Michalski is the fiancé of a skater, and also a Formula 1 enthusiast, where he was a supporter of Michael Schumacher and Robert Kubica.

– As in winter, we traditionally sat down to ski jumping every weekend, from spring to watch the races. At the beginning, we followed Schumacher’s victories on foreign channels, whether Italian or German. The hymns played after the race for Ferrari and Michael I probably know by heart to this day. Kubica’s entry into Formula 1 was a great event for us. After his accident, his passion diminished a little, but since his return, he has come back. And again I know all the details, I follow rumors on Twitter, I am up to date – he said in an interview with T.
