Polish Olympic Committee gets Broniewski

Kajetan Broniewski won bronze in 1992

Former Olympic medallist in the single, Kajetan Broniewski has been selected as the new Executive Director of the Polish Olympic Committee.

Broniewski took up the full-time position in May after spending the last four years as Secretary General of the Polish Rowing Federation. Prior to that Broniewski made his mark as an athlete competing at three Olympic Games and winning bronze in the single in 1992.

Broniewski started his international rowing career as a junior winning silver at the Junior Championships in 1981. As a senior he won 21 national championship titles and at the World Rowing Championships he made it to the A Finals six times as a single sculler winning silver in 1991. In 1997 Broniewski retired from international competition but he continued rowing for his club in Warsaw winning the single in 1998 and 1999.

In Poland Broniewski is well known for his sporting achievements as one of the best Polish rowers ever following in the footsteps of the country’s great single scullers, Roger Verey and Teodor Kocerka.

He is also an ardent promoter of sport, coaching rowing at Poland’s oldest club, Warsaw Rowing Association (1878). He is well-known for his support of indoor rowing for amateurs and has also worked as a fitness instructor.

Robert Zaborski has been selected by the Polish Rowing Federation to replace Broniewski. Zaborski was a member of the national team in the nineties when he competed in the men’s quad. He has been working with the federation for the last couple of years. 

The World Rowing team values feedback.
