Several athletes currently residing in the city of love have become the object of lust for spectators during their stay in the Olympic Village.

The latest athlete to set hearts racing is Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk, 28, whose chiseled features and long brown locks have caught the eye during the games.

The Polish athlete took part in the women’s javelin throw in Paris on Wednesday, where she qualified in Group B with an impressive throw of 65.52 metres.

Maria will certainly attract enthusiastic fans when she competes for the second and final time at the Stade de France stadium at the Paris Games for the women’s javelin throw final on Saturday.

The Polish athlete, who is also a cancer survivor, is known not only for her beauty but for her generous heart after she auctioned off the silver medal she was awarded at the Tokyo Games as part of a fundraiser.

Prior to her spectacular performance at Tokyo 2020, Maria competed in Rio in 2016, where she achieved her personal best and a new Polish national record (67.11 metres), although unfortunately she fell just two centimetres short of the bronze medal.

Maria’s personal best in the sport is currently a throw of 71.40 metres, in 2021. It is the Polish record and the third best result in the history of the women’s javelin throw competition.

The impressive javelin thrower is from Suwałki, a city in northeastern Poland. She has 164,000 followers on her Instagram account, where she shares training videos and cute photos of herself traveling and cuddling with her dog.

Clearly having a good sense of humor to match her looks, the Olympic medalist cheekily has the line, “Pretty good at throwing sticks,” in her social media bio.

In a recent post, Maria shared a selection of adorable photographs of herself travelling around London with friends. Considered one of Poland’s most desirable women in 2018, she was taken off the market by athletics coach and former journalist Marcin Rosengarten, and the pair appeared together at several chic sporting galas.

Maria’s performance in Paris will mark her first Olympic Games since her impressive feat of generosity following the Tokyo Games in 2021.

Just two weeks after the thrower won the silver medal, she put it up for sale on Facebook in an effort to raise funds for Miłoszek Małysa, an eight-month-old boy who urgently needed funds to travel from Poland to California for life-saving heart surgery.

At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “It didn’t take me long to decide, it was the first fundraiser I had ever entered and I knew it was the right one. Miloszek has a serious heart defect and needs surgery.

‘He already has a head start on Kubus, a boy who didn’t arrive in time but whose amazing parents decided to transfer the funds they raised to him.

“And that’s how I want to help too. It’s for him that I’m auctioning off my Olympic silver medal.”

Maria herself had experienced cancer after a sinus X-ray in 2018 revealed she had osteosarcoma, a type of cancer found in the bones.

Fortunately, the Polish thrower was treated for her condition without the need for chemotherapy and was soon able to begin training for the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.

The gorgeous brunette has gathered many admirers since her arrival in Paris. One of them simply wrote: “Andrejczyk is beautiful. Wow!”

A second wrote: ‘Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk is gorgeous, and I’m sure she’s very talented!’

A third, who seemed set to set her sights on a new beau, wrote: “Okay, I’ve moved on and am now in love with Maria Andrejczyk. I’ve never seen anyone throw a javelin with such beauty.”

‘I think that fate is sometimes very unfair when it causes great suffering to someone from the very beginning of their life on earth.’

Since her experience with cancer, Maria has worked to help others suffering from the disease and has worked to help children going through similar challenges.

She said SurvivornetI think my health issues made me want to help others because I understand what it’s like and how difficult it is; all I knew was that I wanted to help a little person who was suffering.

The Polish athlete credited her dedication to her beloved sport as a driving factor in her recovery and her motivation to help and support others.

At the time of her charity fundraiser, Maria acknowledged the true value of a medal, but insisted she wanted to “give happiness back” to someone else.

“A medal is just an object, but it can have great value for others,” he said then.

The fundraising goal for baby Miloszek was to raise 1.5 million Polish zlotys, just over £280,000, and Maria hoped to raise half that amount by auctioning off her medal.

Polish convenience store Zabka won the auction, raising a total of £130,000, with other contributions pushing the figure past the £140,000 target.
