The Polish national team sailed out to the Seine. A surprising guest in the team
The Polish national team arrived on the Seine and charmed the fans. There will be a lot of talk about the outfits of our athletes.
The opening ceremony of the XXXIII Summer Olympic Games was graced by several artists. The whole thing made quite an impression. For the first time, the Olympic teams did not present themselves in a stadium, but in the open air, sailing out on boats to the Seine. We had to wait a bit for our team, but it was worth it. In beautiful colors of their uniforms, at 9:28 p.m., TV cameras showed the Polish team. There was one big minus during the event in the form of heavy rain.
Włodarczyk and Zamojski among the standard-bearers
211 Polish athletes went to Paris. This number has changed slightly in recent days. For the first time in history, there are more women than men in the team (ratio of 113:98). Of course, not everyone was present at the opening ceremony of the games in Paris. Among others, the volleyball players did not appear during the ceremony, who will play the first match of the tournament against the Egyptian team on Saturday at 5 p.m.
Polish volleyball players, on the other hand, appeared at the presentation and looked great, as confirmed by the opinions of Internet users. In general, there is a lot of talk about the outfits of Polish sportswomen, because they refer to the Japanese style in their style. We are talking about long cream dresses with the addition of flowers. The colors also refer to flowers from the country of the rising sun.
Our standard-bearers during the ceremony were Anita Włodarczyk, a three-time Olympic hammer throw champion, and Przemysław Zamojski, a 3×3 basketball player. Zamojski also looked impressive, as did the other gentlemen in the Polish team – they all dressed entirely in white. Interestingly, the famous singer Dawid Podsiadło was also present on the boat on which our athletes were sailing. This may have surprised fans watching the broadcast.
Athletes will try to beat the result from Tokyo
After the start of the games, Włodarczyk will return to Poland for a short time, and in Paris the fight for medals in many disciplines will begin in earnest. At the previous quadrennial event in Tokyo, the white and reds won 14 medals. Now they will try to beat this result, but the task is not easy.
