The Olympic Games close in Beijing this afternoon. Polish athletes are returning home with a total of 10 medals –three gold ones, six silver medals and 1 bronze. Piotr Nurowski, the President of the Polish Olympic Committee, has appraised this result with moderate optimism and announced tougher qualification rules for some disciplines in the future.
‘These were very difficult games. The host country China demonstrated excellent preparation. The Americans and the British were a revelation. It was truly difficult to win medals. The ten medals, especially considering the proportion of precious metals, inspires moderate optimism. Now is the time to get down to work, analyze everything and think about London,’ Nurowski told Polish Radio.
Poland ’s three gold medals were won by gymnast Leszek Blanik, rowing quad Adam Korol, Michal Jelinski, Marek Kolbowicz and Konrad Wasielewski, and by Tomasz Majewski, who won the men’s shot put final.
