WRAP-UP: Poland wins eight medals at European Athletics Championships in Birmingham

18 augustus 2026

Poland won eight medals—six silver and two bronze—at the 2026 European Athletics Championships, which ended in Birmingham on Sunday, in what officials described as a highly successful campaign for the country.

Poland won two more medals than at the previous European championships in Rome two years ago.

"The number of medals was a positive surprise for everyone, though we missed out on a gold medal," Polish Athletics Association head Sebastian Chmara said.
