All areas of everyday life had to be rebuilt, or even created from scratch: the economy, the armed forces, culture, science. There is also a new aspect: sport. This field quickly began to provide us with emotions and reasons to be proud.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Poland returned to the world map after 123 years, Polish sport was not in a very good place and form. Within the borders of the reborn state, there were only a few clubs, m.in. in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Pozna\u0144, Warsaw and Lviv. (The colours and name of the latter, Lechia Lw\u00f3w, are referred to by Lechia Gda\u0144sk, founded in 1945). Poland&#8217;s regaining of independence in 1918 was the proverbial &#8220;spark&#8221; resurrecting Polish sports activity. Sports associations were quickly reactivated, and new ones were formed. Polish sport was to return to the international arena as soon as possible. The independent government even planned to accept an invitation to the Olympics, which was to be held in 1920 in Antwerp, but due to the approaching hostile Bolshevik army, our country&#8217;s participation in this event was canceled. For the first time, Poles officially took part in the Olympics 4 years later, in Paris. It was from the French capital that they brought their first Olympic medals. Silver medals in Paris were won by track cyclists:<strong>  Jan \u0141azarski, Franciszek Szymczyk, Tomasz Stankiewicz and J\u00f3zef Lange. Adam Kr\u00f3likiewicz, on the other hand, won the bronze medal in equestrianism.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the interwar period, the Polish national football team was formed. They played their first match against Hungary in 1921, unfortunately lost 1-0. The coach<span style=\"text-align: justify;\">of the white-and-red team was Major <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">J\u00f3zef Szkolnikowski,<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">  one of the founders of the Polish Football Association. Archival reports show that the Poles were close to a draw. One of our best players, <strong>Wac\u0142aw Kuchar<\/strong> , did not take advantage of a situation in which he could have scored into an empty goal \u2013 instead, he bent over the Hungarian goalkeeper who had been fouled a moment earlier&#8230;  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Archery, fencing and horsemanship. These three sports were very popular in the Commonwealth. Historians have often referred to these fields as &#8220;Polish&#8221;. The interwar period was also marked by the flourishing of sport<span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Railwaymen, postal workers and military personnel competed in the competition. Events were organized to activate the population and encourage physical activity. The &#8220;Run Along the Borders&#8221; or the bicycle race around our country were very popular. Outstanding sports results were awarded  <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">State Sports Badge<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">. By the outbreak of World War II, it had been captured by approx. 800,000 people, and it was available to women from 16 years of age and men from 14 years of age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76321 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Panstwowa-Odznaka-Sportowa-895x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Panstwowa-Odznaka-Sportowa-895x1024.jpg 895w, https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Panstwowa-Odznaka-Sportowa-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Panstwowa-Odznaka-Sportowa-768x879.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Panstwowa-Odznaka-Sportowa-1342x1536.jpg 1342w, https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Panstwowa-Odznaka-Sportowa.jpg 1660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Fig. State Sports Badge  <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #133649; font-size: 14pt;\">Muniu, the best striker of the interwar period<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to many experts, the best striker of the interwar period was Leon Sperling.

She threw the discus at a distance of 39.62 meters, setting a new world record. It was an extremely moving moment, as D\u0105browski&#8217;s Mazurka was performed in Amsterdam. When the gold medalist returned from the Olympics, she was received by the Poles with great enthusiasm. Crowds gathered along her route, she was showered with flowers, and a congratulatory telegram was sent to her by the President of the Republic of Poland, Ignacy Mo\u015bcicki.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Konopacka started her sporting adventure with skiing and it was only a coincidence that she found herself in the athletics section.
