Kornelia Lesiewicz: The last few years since my best season have been varied in terms of health and sometimes also in terms of approach. #KorneliaLesiewicz #lekkoatletyka #zakończeniekariery (translated)

At the age of 23, Kornelia Lesiewicz ended her sports career. In 2021, as an 18-year-old, Lesiewicz respectively: became the vice-champion of Poland in seniors (400 m indoors), won bronze at the European indoor championships (4 x 400), silver at the World Relays (4 x 400), 1st place in the European team championships (both in 4 x 400 and in the overall classification), gold at the European junior championships (400), went to the Olympic Games in Tokyo (she was a reserve in the relay, ultimately did not compete), and won two silver medals at the junior world championships (mixed 4 x 400 and 400). After the race in the U20 World Championships final in Nairobi (51.97 PB)... she never broke 54 seconds again :( The next years were plagued by health problems and attempts to return to the sport at the highest level, today it turned out that there will be no further return. Thank you for repeatedly representing Poland and we wish you success in other areas of life! #sport #lekkoatletyka #KorneliaLesiewicz (translated)
