Inside Polish Sports

In Episode 5 it's the awards season as I give out the first annual Kubbies(the name I made up myself) to the best and worst performers of our sporting year. Also, Marek Papszun has turned Raków Częstochowa into a domestic and Conference League powerhouse, and Dartsmas has also spread to our parts with three Poles in the Ally Pally draw.

In Episode 4, The L in Legia stands for endless losses. Join me as we catch up on their European and Domestic results. Also, with the end of the year in sight, the Polish Sports Personality of the Year(voting for the whole Top 10 in our case) is celebrating its centenary. I will talk about the tradition of the afterparty ball and how you have to stay on the dancefloor until the eggplant is served at dawn. Plus, I will reveal my choices for this year's Top 10 athletes.

POLAND HAVE WON THE WORLD CUP! The World Socca Cup, that is. But we'll take six-a-side glory over any hope of winning the FIFA equivalent. The one for which a draw just took place, but we don't know whether we've qualified for. I'll wait until March to assess our playoff chances at length.  Also in Episode 3 we've had a pretty good week in (short course) swimming in Lublin, whilst in Holland a Russian immigrant with our passport has set a sea level world record in speed skating. Both of these sports have a special place in my heart thanks to the Olympic heroics of Otylia Jędrzejczak and Zbigniew Bródka. Their stories and how those wins affected me, bringing me in the latter case to my life's singular happy tears.  Introduction by Joe Morrow, former NHL defenceman turned Unia Oświęcim star who's turning 33 today. Happy Birthday Joe!  Follow me at:  https://www.tiktok.com/@jakubwidlarz98 https://www.youtube.com/@jakubwidlarz https://www.facebook.com/jakub.widlarz/  https://bsky.app/profile/kubawidlarz98.bsky.social Write to me at: [email protected]

In Episode 2 I will be talking about how the UEFA Conference League is the best thing to ever happen to the Ekstraklasa(Unless you're a Legia fan because now not only can't you win a raffle but Michał Probierz could be your next manager!). Our basketball guys did a reverse blackjack on the Dutch coming back from 21 down. Whilst Piotr Lisek is taking a break from pole vaulting for.........an MMA fight? His second? Really? Also Kamil Stoch might go to his last Olympics without his two best teammates and why "Everyone watched Women's Sports" here in Poland years before the rest of Europe. Maybe my personal experiences had something to do with that!
