Faustyna Kotłowska from our University branch in Gorzów Wielkopolski won the 7th #Guttmanny2025 Sportsperson of the Year plebiscite.
Faustyna is a member of the GZSN START Gorzów Wielkopolski sports club. She has competed in the Paralympic Games twice and is a two-time world champion in shot put and discus throw. She was one of the leaders of the Polish team at the 12th World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi at the end of 2025. Faustyna first dominated the F64 discus throw, having six best attempts in the competition. A few days later, she won gold in the shot put, and in the second round she improved her personal best and the world championship record.
Since 2019, the Polish Paralympic Committee has organised the “Guttmanny” plebiscite to promote sport among people with disabilities and raise public awareness of Paralympic disciplines.
Congratulations!
