A lot is going on in my head. I am very happy. This is the hard work that my coaching staff and I have done over the past few months and it has paid off. We have been preparing for this and I have done my job - Aleksandra Mirosław told Eurosport right after the competition.
The medal is very heavy. For me, it has a huge, double meaning, not only for an athlete, but I am also glad that I could win it as a soldier of the Polish Army. This is a dream come true for me […] My team consists of not only my husband - a coach, but also a dietician, two physiotherapists (one is here with us, the other is in Lublin), a psychologist, my manager. All the support that I receive around me, that's why I could prepare for the Games in peace. These were difficult preparations, but they paid off. […] I would like to dedicate this medal to my entire Team, my family, my sister is here. I am glad that I won this medal in front of them - adds Aleksandra Mirosław in an interview with Europsport.
I don't know what happened. I am very grateful. I would like to thank my sister, without whom I would not be here. It is unreal for me, I have an emotional rollercoaster - Aleksandra Kałucka comments live in an interview with Eurosport.
