PARIS (Reuters) - Poland's Maria Andrejczyk could be poised to improve on her women's javelin silver medal from the 2020 Games by unleashing the best throw in Wednesday's qualifying round, but she will have 2016 Olympic champion Sara Kolak breathing down her neck.
The 28-year-old Andrejczyk threw a season's best 65.52 metres on her opening throw at Stade de France and then called it a morning with her berth in the final assured.
