On 31 July 1928, Halina Konopacka threw her discus 39.62m to set a new world record and become the first Olympic Champion from Poland. She was 27 years old.
Polish athletes achieved two more Gold in 1932, to bring their pre-war total to three. Stanislawa Walasiewicz was a US resident and known there as Stella Walsh.
Two gold medals in Art Competitions are also worth a mention.
