Incredible feelings in the men’s 4x400m relay

Before the last competition, which was the men’s 4x400m relay, the Polish team had an advantage of 2.5 points over the second Great Britain and 4.5 points over the third Italy. As a result, the Poles could be placed in two positions inferior to the British, who were the favorites for this race.

After the first changes, the situation was the worst possible. The Italians and the British were in the lead, and the Poles fought at best to retain their fifth position.

But then something happened that could not have happened! During the last turn, the greatest Polish competitor, the British, got lost in the shift and lost the baton, so they never finished the race! The Italians won, but thanks to Karol Zalowski’s superb finish, the Poles finished third, winning the entire overall classification and winning the gold medal in the European Team Championship!

The Polish national team scored 181.5 points. The Italians won the silver with 179 points and the bronze Great BritainWhich scored 174 points.
