Athletes compete for IE medals as part of the European team championships held in Chorzów. Swoboda scored 16 points in the team classification, while Kaczmarek – 15 points.
I’m kind of happy, kind of not. Because I know that I can afford to run better. I knew it would be hard to win. It’s not quite what I wanted, but it was also pretty hard to run Kaczmarek said.
Here you run mainly for the team, time goes to the background. I am participating in the European Games for the first time. This is kind of new to me. It’s nice that there is a medal, but we won the last two DME editions and I would like us to be on the podium here too she added.
She admitted that it was difficult to run in high temperature and humidity.
It was hard to breathe and it was very hard for me after the run. After the rain had fallen and everything had evaporated, it was even more stuffy she assessed.
