Róża Kozakowska wins another medal in Tokyo

Everything seemed to suggest there could be no other outcome than a gold medal for Kozakowska.

She opened the final in a brilliant fashion by launching a 7.10-metre throw - a world record breaker in her first attempt!

The problem was, however, the Pole had an excellent competitor that day.

Ukrainian Anastasia Moskalenko responded with an even better shot - 7.61 metres, which has become a new world record.

Kozakowska improved a bit in the fourth attempt with a 7.37 m throw, but it was not enough to beat the excellent Ukrainian.

The Polish athlete has won Olympic silver.

This was her second medal in Tokyo - last week she had won gold in club throw.

Poland has won 18 medals at Tokyo Paralympics so far.

Earlier on Wednesday, Tomasz Jakimczuk and Rafał Czuper, playing in wheelchairs, won a bronze medal in table tennis doubles (class 1-2), while Oliwia Jabłońska won a bronze medal in 400 m freestyle swimming.
