I ask everyone to support the auction on social media, clicking works wonders,” the Olympic vice-champion wrote on social media.

Polish athletes give away medals to charity

Klaudia Zwolińska is not the first Olympic medalist to decide to say goodbye to her Olympic medal in order to raise funds for charity.

In turn, Wojciech Fortuna sold his medal from Sapporo to support the treatment of Nick Fairall and Natalia Czerwonka.

Born in 1998, Klaudia Czerwonka is a medalist not only of the Olympic Games, but also of the European Games, World and European Championships.
