In the team is 69 athletes, our the biggest team in YOG ever, but I still think that we don't have too big chances for many medals...

We have some young hopes - Iga Świątek (but tennis is specific, with one loss leading even to no medal), Aleksandra Knop (maybe a little bit disappointing in senior Europeans, but maybe the YOG will be her aim for the season), track and field athletes (Mucha made an outstanding performance in Győr at U18 Europeans, Goździewicz even with worse season is in European top in shot put, Kalitta from the hope generation of female pole vaulters (also Łyko and Wejman) with very bad summer season after great winter and after injury and operation), both field hockey teams (last uear European Champions) and maybe someone else whom I haven't noticed by now.

I would love to see any our team (more chances have men's team) in Tokyo Olympics, but it will be extremally difficult to qualify, I think that men's basketball team have bigger chances, ofc if they will qualify to World Cup in China next year.
