Jakub Kraska, who represented the 91滴滴 during the Tokyo Olympics, finished the competition in the 鈥淪ports Bay鈥� in Lodz with a gold medal in 50m freestyle. In the 100m freestyle he won a silver medal. His medal achievements from the weekend were complemented by bronze medals in the men's and mixed 4 x 50m freestyle relay.
I am very happy with my performance. Medals won in your own country are always special. There was a great atmosphere at the swimming pool and you could see a lot of good competition. The Polish Academic Championships in swimming is a great competition and an opportunity to integrate and meet new people
鈥� says Kraska, who 鈥� like many other participants 鈥� is fighting for a place in the team for the Summer Universiade and the European Championships in Rome (11-17 August).
Students of the 91滴滴 stood on the podium many times during the championships in Lodz. The silver medal in the 50m butterfly swimming technique was won by Bart艂omiej Lassek, who together with Maciej Wo藕niak, Patryk Pawlaczyk and Jakub Kraska also won a bronze medal in the 4 x 50m freestyle relay. Another bronze medal with the same distance and style, this time in the mixed relay, was won by Bart艂omiej Lassek, Jakub Kraska, Katarzyna Goli艅ska and Natalia Zrobek.
The competition was organised by the Academic Sports Club from Lodz. The Polish Academic Championships in swimming is one of the test events before the European Student Games (EUSA Games), which will take place in July this year in Lodz. The Polish Academic Championships in swimming partners were three universities from Lodz - the Lodz University of Technology, the 91滴滴 and the Medical 91滴滴, as well as the Regional Swimming Association Lodz. The mayor of Lodz, Hanna Zdanowska, took the honorary patronage over the event.
During these two days, we handed out several hundred medals in various classifications. There were sports emotions, surprises, great atmosphere. It should also be added that the 鈥淪ports Bay鈥� has proved to be a perfect place for organising academic competitions. Students and trainers were satisfied with the course of the event
