Anita Włodarczyk can consider 2018 as extremely successful. Most of all - she won a gold medal at the European Championships in Berlin. Yesterday she additionally received information from the Polish Olympic Committee (in abbreviation PKOI) that she was recognized as the 2012 Olympic Champion in the hammer throw.

She had silver so far

Anita Włodarczyk won the silver medal during the 2012 Olympics in London. She lost then to Tatiana Łysenko, who threw the hammer to a distance of 78,18 meters. The Polish woman obtained a result of 77,60 meters in the best attempt, as a result of which she was awarded a silver medal.

It has been known about the disqualification since 2016

After examining the samples taken during anti-doping tests, it turned out that the presence of a forbidden substance - turinabol was detected in the body of Tatiana Łysenko. The International Olympic Committee (abbreviated as IOC) disqualified the Russian woman in October 2016. However, the official decision to relocate the places was made only yesterday, and the PKOI immediately informed Anita Włodarczyk about it, who shared her happiness on Twitter.
