– When I google “Anio³ki”, “Matusiñski” appears in the suggestions. People liked it, I don’t mind -. – Characteristic, my angels – he added.
Everything is correct. You may not like calling great sportswomen “Angels”, but you must not like these Angels. What’s more – you can’t help but be impressed by how they latch on and how insatiable they are.
Ma³gorzata Ho³ub-Kowalik was in, but in the role of, a TVP expert, not a runner. Anna Kie³basiñska had just told us on Sport.pl that she had recently spent a few days for covid, only sleeping, because she had no strength for anything else.
Despite such weaknesses, the Polish women did not disappoint.

This is a great series by this crew. And we should add the Olympic gold medal, which in the 4×400 m mixed relay race together with Kajetan Duszyński, Karol Zalewski and Dariusz Kowaluk was run by ¦wiêty-Ersetic, Kaczmarek, Baumgart-Witan and. And you can also add the silver of the unofficial M¦ relay teams from 2017, gold from 2019 and silver from 2021.
We have female athletes who never fail. Which win medals even when they are not in optimal shape and in full squad. We have a wide team (we should also remember about other coaches, because Matusiñski is the boss, but he works with him every day, and Kaczmarek, Baumgart-Witan, Ho³ub-Kowalik or they have their own coaches) we can be proud of. And we are proud.
“They are hungry, they are dogged, fierce, bloodthirsty”
– How did you do that after the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro for five consecutive years you won medals at all world championships, European championships and now at the Olympics? – we asked the coach a few months ago at the Tokyo Olympics
– Rio definitely hurt us. If the girls had run in Rio in the final, the same as in the qualifying rounds, we would already have a medal and calm souls there. Then we would be fulfilled to the next competition. There was no medal, so it was not fulfilled -.
And he immediately added that in their wonderful team something like “fulfillment” actually does not exist. – He wasn’t there even after the girls won gold in the mixed relay race here in Tokyo. After this great success, I tried to tell them that they came here for a medal in the 4×400 meters relay and that this is still our goal. The girls also felt that the gold in the mix did not matter – said the coach. And he even said even more: The girls did as I wanted to. They could feel satisfied and only pass the performance. But no: they are hungry, they are dogged, fierce, bloodthirsty, he rejoiced.
“I would never want to squeeze everything out of any of them.” But they squeeze!
Theoretically, Saint-Ersetic (born in 1992), Ho³ub-Kowalik (also born in 1992) or (born in 1989) could wish to live normally, fulfill the roles of mothers or any other.
In Tokyo, all declared that they were going on. “Really? You know more than I do” – the coach laughed, not wanting then, right after his life success, to make a vision for the future.
– I would like them to be happy. This is the most important thing for me, he added seriously. – They probably should still train, because on the wave of success they can gain even more and position themselves in life and finances. But these are their lives and the lives of their families. I would never want to squeeze it all out of any of them – we heard.
Matusiñski was deservedly recognized as the best coach in Polish sport for 2021. And Anio³ki Matusiñski is probably our best team. Because is there any other that wins medals so regularly? Can a Polish fan count on any other team as much as on the one created by these “hungry, dogged, passionate and bloodthirsty” champions?
If someone needs proof that they are like that, let him find a statement for TVP. Right after winning the bronze medal, Natalia regretted that it was only bronze, that Jamaica and the Dutch were better.
– I broke it a bit. I started this race and I know that we could have fought for gold if this race had turned out differently. We could afford gold – repeated one of our multimediaists.
