Did not speak about Poles in general, I know they are happy with the medal, this is normal, I mean, it woud be strang if they would not I spoke about Swiatek herself, her reaction after winning the bronze was quite ... how to say it... well, kinda robotic, like "oh jesus, I am already too late for the plane to be somewhere else, how much more time I have to waste here." Obviously I am exagerating, it was just my impression, but nothing against her, she won the medal fairly and fully deserved it, was shocked she did not win gold, but that is another story. However, it was you who brought me this thought. That bronze would likely meant thousand time more for Schmiedlová than it means for Swiatek, so similar to Nadia and Kipyegon.
That´s all. At the end both won their medal fairly and it is how it is.
