Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk did not have her silver medal for very long. Less than a month after winning it in Tokyo the Polish Olympian auctioned it to help pay for a baby’s life-changing surgery.
Andrejczyk is no stranger to struggle in her own right. An injury kept her out of competition in 2017. In addition, she survived a 2018 diagnosis of bone cancer.
