Poland’s Aleksandra Miroslaw gets gold medal in speed climbing in the Paris Olympics

Aleksandra Mirosław celebrates winning Poland’s first gold medal of the Paris Olympics.

Aleksandra Mirosław was stood poised at the base of a 15-meter climbing wall, waiting for three pips of a buzzer to signal the start of her race. Six seconds later, she was an Olympic champion.

And not just any Olympic champion; Mirosław became the first-ever gold medalist in the sport of speed climbing on Wednesday, defeating China’s Deng Lijuan in the final.

“A long story short, it’s like a dream come true moment,” she said. “It’s as simple as that. … It’s the first [gold medal] in history, so it’s really awesome. I’m really happy and really proud of myself. It will be with me forever.”
