Career

She competed in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2012, 2016 Summer Olympics. She also won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships in the same event. At the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, she won an individual gold and later also anchored the Polish squad to the win despite the fact that both finals were separated by less than two hours.

At the 2020 Summer Olympics she represented Poland in the 4 x 400 m mixed relay, winning gold and in the 4 × 400 m relay, gaining the silver medal.

Her personal bests in the 400 metres are 50.41 seconds outdoors (Berlin 2018) and 51.34 seconds indoors (Toruń 2021).[4] The latter is the current Polish record.
