The Olympic Games in Paris will begin on Friday, July 26. One of Poland’s greatest hopes for a medal is Nikola Grbic’s players. The Whites and Reds are one of the most successful teams in history, but they are waiting to win the most important sporting event on the fourth anniversary since 1976. Then in Montreal, the Poles won the gold medal.
Off to Paris for Olympic gold? Poles’ results offer no certainty
Excellent until recently The atmosphere surrounding the Polish national team deteriorated mainly due to the unexpected defeat against France. In the semi-finals of the Nations League. It is impossible to win everything, but the form of the white and red team allowed us to believe that they would be able to defend the victory they achieved last year. The tricolour turned out to be better after all. They defeated Japan 3-1 in the final.
Nikola Grbic’s decision to be selected for the Paris Olympics has generated a lot of emotion and discussion in the media. There was no place in the team, among other things: for Bartosz Bednorz. On the other hand, Bartłomiej Bołądź was just a “reserve” as the extra 13th player. Tensions were exacerbated by the “stumble” in the sparring with Japan.
Fans disappointed after defeat to Japan. They hit the stars.
The Poles had won four games in a row against the Japanese, but were stopped on Saturday at the Ergo Arena. After a fierce and even fight, they lost 2:3, and fans expressed their feelings on social media. Many of them expressed Concerns over form of stars led by Bartosz Kurek, Kamil Semenyuk and Aleksander SlyukaThe 29-year-old was certainly the hardest hit.
“Śliwka Kurek Kaczmarek will go on a trip to Paris”, “When Śliwka played badly before, he played badly today and certainly will not be better. Unfortunately, he has lost his form since that season”, “The closer we get to the Olympics, the weaker the game gets. Sliuka played terribly.” Such comments were prevalent on social media.
At least some of our representatives will have to improve their game significantly if they want to keep their dreams of an Olympic gold medal alive. The group turned out to be demanding. In Paris, the Polish team will face Brazil, Italy and Egypt.
