Polka suddenly also became the heroine of the Internet. All thanks to British comedian Tim Vine, who posted a video of Sulek with one of her attempts at the javelin throw competition. The video has already received over two million views.
Adrianna Sulek broke the long-standing Polish record! There were tears and harsh words
The topic was immediately picked up by Internet users. According to them, the swinging of the Polish representative before the throw was reminiscent of the behavior of Jack Sparrow, a character from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, played by Johnny Depp.
The British edition of The Sun also picked up the theme. “Jack Sparrow trains her”, “Jack Sparrow’s daughter takes aim”, “Summons the power of Jack Sparrow” - quotes the fans of the British edition of the daily. “Looking forward to the first remix with a dance track,” wrote British cricketer Jimmy Anderson.
Novitsky’s sensational decision! He won’t defend the title
Although the polka’s run-up may have looked unusual, it certainly had an effect. The Pole sent her javelin to a distance of 41.63 m, which was the third best result on the field.
The Polka fought to the last for the World Championship medal, and only 83 points were missing from the bronze medal. It is estimated that at every previous World Championship, the result achieved by Sulek would have brought her a medal.
Sulek gets into PZLA
After the competition, the 23-year-old athlete did not bite her tongue and said that this success was in no way connected with the Polish Athletics Association, which should have made it difficult to prepare for the start.
- This is the only obstacle in my development. What PZLA does is just throw logs at your feet. I’m tired of silence. I decided to speak about it after the World Cup. And I will look for someone who will allow me to become independent from PZLA, - our competitor told reporters after the competition.
The split among the “angels”. “I can’t imagine standing on a treadmill with her.”
Sulek will have the opportunity to improve his result in a month. The European Championship starts on August 15 in Munich.
