The protest was upheld, and as a result, Roza wasdisqualified.
The Polish team immediately appealed this decision.
The appeal committee meeting took place this morning; unfortunately, its decision was unfavorable for us.
We keep our fingers crossed for all ourParalympiansand wish them success.
After the ruling, Tunisias Maroua Ibrahmi took gold.
Meanwhile, Irans Parastoo Habibi won silver, and Brazils Giovanna Boscolo Castilho Goncalves earned bronze.
Kozakowska had to withdraw from the Paris Games due to an injury she suffered during the competition.
So, unfortunately, this means the end of theParalympicsin Paris for me.
I would never want a medal that was not honestly earned, she declared.
I want to win by a fair fight; the harder and more effort-filled, the better.
What doesnt kill us makes us stronger.
I feel even stronger and more motivated after all this.
I started with the long jump.
I tried the shot put.
I told myself I wouldnt give up.
Kozakowska isnt the onlycompetitorwhos had a medal stripped at the 2024 Paralympics.
Im absolutely devastated that we made such a critical mistake out there today.
