- This year, I can confidently say that I am going to fight for a medal! I hope that the years of experience that have passed since the start in Rio will pay off in the capital of Japan. The form is stable, the power boost remains, and I hope that the life throw will come out during the Olympic finals. I am healthy, well prepared: mentally and physically. I believe that I can add 2-3 meters to the 75-meter result I have achieved so often this season. I know that a few players throw further away from me, but as I said, I am going well prepared. I can take up the glove and fight for a medal - announced Malwina Kopron in an interview with Polish Radio Lublin.
