Hubert Hurkacz's remarkable return to form at Wimbledon ended in heartbreak on Sunday when a rib injury forced him to retire mid-match against Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff. The Polish star was forced to quit in the fifth set with the score reading 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (2-7), 5-7, 2-4, bringing his fourth-round campaign to an abrupt and painful halt.
Defending champion Iga Świątek brushed aside a tricky early test on Thursday, beating former world number one Karolina Plíšková to move into the third round at Wimbledon. The Polish star made light work of a dangerous opponent, winning 6-1, 6-3 on Centre Court.
Andrzej Bargiel has done what no one else has managed before, skiing all the way down Nanga Parbat, one of the deadliest mountains on the planet.

It was a rocky start to Wimbledon for Poland, as three of the country's women crashed out on the very first day of the tournament, even as rising star Maja Chwalińska had entered with plenty of momentum behind her. Thankfully, Hubert Hurkacz gave Polish fans something to cheer about on the men's side.
Chicago Fire confirmed on Monday that they've brought Polish striker Robert Lewandowski into the fold, signing him through the 2027-28 season in a move that adds serious star power to the club's roster. The deal will see him fill a designated player slot, though it still needs to clear a couple of formalities, namely visa approval and an international transfer certificate.
Nobody really expects someone to run a marathon every single day for nearly two months straight. Yet that is exactly what Tomasz Sobania did — and he finished a day early. The 27-year-old Polish ultra runner, nicknamed the "Polish Forest Gump," completed 50 marathons across all 50 US states in just 49 days, crossing the finish line at New York City's Times Square on June 27. It was the kind of moment that stops people mid-scroll.
One of tennis's most recognizable champions is now facing the longest stretch of her career away from the court — not through injury or retirement, but through a doping-related suspension. Markéta Vondroušová, the Czech star who won Wimbledon and reached two Grand Slam finals, has been handed a four-year ban by the International Tennis Integrity Agency for refusing to submit to an anti-doping test last December. The suspension runs until June 21, 2030, by which point she will be 30 years old.
Poland wasted no time making a statement at this year's Men's Volleyball Nations League.

From the very first set, it was clear Poland meant business — and the result sent an early message to every other team in the competition.
Iga Świątek of Poland was eliminated from the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia, suffering a defeat of 7-6, 4-6, 2-6 to American Amanda Anisimova. The 2023 champion had hoped to win her second WTA Finals title, but she exited the tournament in the group stage after losing two of her first three matches. The defeat was an unexpected end to a successful season, when Świątek won her first grass court title at Wimbledon. Ironically, she defeated Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in that very final.
After the match, Świątek said of the loss, "Such a loss just hurts ... I did what I could and I put everything in."
