"It has been a great start to the year for Polish athletes with both Ewa Swoboda and Konrad Bukowiecki having been voted European Athletes of the Month for January,” the association wrote in a recent statement.
“Swoboda had already made a great impression in 2015, competing in the 60m final at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Prague followed by 100m gold at the European Athletics Junior Championships in Eskilstuna.”
“Bukowiecki took the men's award with over 1,100 Facebook likes and retweets on Twitter. He set a new world junior indoor shot put record with the 6kg implement when he reached 22.48m in Toruń on 8 January.”
