The Poles are eliminated in the qualifying rounds

She achieved the best result among the representatives of Poland in the qualifying round of the 800 meters Angelique Sarna. The 25-year-old took sixth place in the first race (at 10:05), reaching the finish line in 2:01.78. This gave him sixth place, but did not secure promotion to the semi-finals.

The other Polish woman Margarita Kochanova participated in the third qualifying race, which started at 10:13 a.m. The Belarusian, who has represented Poland since November 2021, failed to win promotion – she took 8th place with a time of 2:03.23.

The third from Poland, Anna Wielgosz competed in the final and eighth qualifying race, which started at 10:53 a.m. The representative of our country will certainly not be satisfied with her performance either – she set a time of 2:03.61 and took eighth place.
