The medal was for a hair. Or maybe even closer. The European Champion turned out to be the best European sprinter at the Beijing Olympics.
Polish women far from the podium
On Sunday, the ice-skating fans hoped for a good performance by Polish women. Ladies specializing in the 500-meter race fought for medals. There were two strong Poles – And¿elika Wójcik () and Kaja Ziomek. – The chances are similar to the competition between the gentlemen. Though I emphasize that the girls worked here without any covid problems.
Due to their positions in the top of the World Cup classification, the Polish women fought in the last pairs. In the penultimate game, Kaja Ziomek faced the American Erin Jackson. Ziomek had the time of 37.70 and it gave her the ninth place after this run. Jackson had a time of 37.04 and it was first.
In the last pair, And¿elika Wójcik faced Olga Fatkulin (Russia). The run was exciting and it was decided in the end. However, Wójcik’s score was 37.78, which gave her only the eleventh position.
Eventually, Erin Jackson won the gold medal. The silver medal was unexpectedly won by Japanese Takagi Miho, and the bronze medal by Russian Angelina Golikowa. Jackson won the first gold medal in this discipline for the USA since 1994.
