VIDEO: Polish Sprinting Star Ewa Swoboda Bizarrely Gestures Camera On Live TV Before Apologizing And Changing Her Actions Before 100-meter Race

Polish Sprinting Star Ewa Swoboda

 

Ewa Swoboda, a Polish sprinter and Barbie model, went viral despite not clinching a medal in the 100-meter at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

A simple four-second video of the Polish Olympic sprinter set off alarm bells when she was seen stretching in a crouched position before her first 100m race at Stade de France in Paris.

When she spotted the camera, Swoboda gave a simple salute with her right hand to the vewers, but would suddenly come to her senses and corrected herself and saluted with her left hand.

The clip of Swoboda has become one of the most viewed videos on X, formerly Twitter, since the Olympics began.

ne response to the post seemed to offer a proper explanation as right-handed salute is said to be reserved for the Polish military, while the left is simply to “say hello.”

Ewa Swoboda Fails To Make 100-Meter Finals After Impressive Heat Victory

Ewa Swoboda looked good after running a season-best of 10.99 seconds in her heat at the Paris Olympics, per Wikipedia.

She only had to get through in the semis to make it to the final.

 

The 27-year-old ultimately failed to make the final after coming fourth in the semis behind Melissa Jefferson, Marie-Josee Ta Lou, and Mujinga Kambundji.

Her subpar performance meant that she was forced to watch from the sidelines as Julien Alfred of St Lucia secured the nation’s first-ever Olympic medal when she won gold over Sha’Carri Richardson in the final on Saturday night.
