At the age of 14, I was a small blonde and hardly anyone believed me that I had started the hammer throw trainings, they laughed at me and told me that I won’t manage because it is too hard. However, I knew that I would be able to handle it, because at my side I had a man who I owe everything in my career, my grandfather Witold Kopron.

When I was child my parents worked a lot and after school it was him who looked after me. As long as I remember, he led an athletics group, and thanks to the fact that the classes took place after school, I took part in almost every training. After months of sitting and watching the elders train, I started jumping on mattresses, doing rollovers, hurdles, playing volleyball and basketball. Month by month I focused on technical sports and became interested in javelin and hammer throwing. 2008 was the beautiful beginning of my sports career. After throwing 42.77 meters with a 3-kilo hammer, I took third place at he Little Memorial of Janusz Kusociński and won my first medal.

Under the watchful eye of my grandfather, I was perfecting my skills, and the progress was getting bigger and bigger every year. I won gold and bronze medals at the Polish Championships in hammer and javelin throw. Until I finally made the decision to focus solely on hammer throw, which led me to the amazing year of 2017 and later to my dream medal at the 2020 Olympics.
