Ewa Swoboda, however, was not the third. “Bullshit.” Incorrect results are displayed

In February, she ran 60 meters in 6.99 seconds. It was the 10th result in the history of athletics. The 24-year-old Pole found herself in an elite sprint club, which broke the seven-second barrier. Irena Priwa³owa (6.92), Gail Devers, Marion Jones and Marlene Ottey.

Liberty was the third. Unfortunately, only by mistake

Swoboda came to Belgrade as a leader of world lists and as the main candidate for gold. Ewa confidently went through the qualifying rounds (with the third time – 7.10), and in the semi-finals she was the fastest (7.03). Unfortunately, she did not improve this result in the final, and it turned out that the level of the race was excellent.

The winner, Mujinga Kambundji, scored 6.96, the second Mikiah Brisco, short time 6.99, and the third Marybeth Sant-Price – 7.04, which is almost the same as Swoboda. Almost, because the Polish woman was also measured at 7.04 seconds, but the photo finish showed that Ewa was slower by 0.002 seconds.

We waited several dozen seconds for the official results. Originally, the organizers placed the name Swoboda in third place. Over time 7.00. Unfortunately, after the analysis, they corrected this result.

“If a man does not win, but is in shape, he is furious”

– This is bad luck. Ewa missed the start a bit, it is beyond question – comments the fastest Polish sprinter in history in an interview with Sport.pl.

The Olympic vice-champion from the 4×100 m relay hoped that Swoboda would become the world champion. – Just like everybody. Ewa was undefeated this year. Sorry she was left without a medal. She worked so well and made such progress that she deserved a prize, argues Voronin.

Freedom, a bit broken by such decisions, in an interview with TVP Sport announced that now, before the summer season and running 100 m, it will be “crazy”. – Let’s not say that the fourth place will mobilize Ewa even more. Bullshit, tells us Voronin. – If a man does not win, but is in shape to win, he is furious. Eve said she was going to be crazy and that’s true. She is still a young girl, she will run for a long time, but at 100 m she is unlikely to run so fast as to fight for a world championship medal – adds Voronin.

In the summer, Svoboda is waiting, among others, by M¦ in Eugene and ME in Munich. – First, I will be M¦ and I believe that Ewa will be there for the final. But so far it’s really a pity that she doesn’t have that medal from the hall. Everyone said it would be gold and it probably would have been if Ewa had left the blocks normally. It is sad that it only ended in fourth place, concludes Voronin.
