The white and reds knew about the high expectations and did not disappoint their fans. After four days of competition, they have already won 7 medals, which places them in the top 3 of the medal standings, together with Spain (7) and behind Germany (11).

Aleksandra Lisowska won the first medal of this year’s European Championships for Poland against all odds. Her great performance contributed to the Polish women’s team winning the bronze medal.
