Faustyna Kotłowska
Beneficiary of Poland Business Run 2020
A 19-year-old girl from the Pomorskie Voivodeship, who lost her leg in a traffic accident in 2016. For three years now, she has been training athletics in the Start Gorzów Wielkopolski club, at the same time attending a technical school of construction specialization. Efficient functioning is very much needed for her to realize her plans and passion, which is sport. Faustina is an athlete specializing in throwing competitions, silver and bronze medallist of the World Championships, bronze medallist of the European Championships. She performs in the F64 classification. She has had European and world records in athletic throwing (disc throw, bullet throw, javelin throw). Last year her sporting achievements allowed her to qualify for the Tokyo Paralympic Games. Due to the very high physical activity, the prostheses wear out much faster, so our goal is to subsidise a new limb that will help Faustina to achieve further sporting success.
