Polish ace eyes gold

Polish shot putter Konrad Bukowiecki is making no secret of his ambition to stand on the podium at the FISU World University Games in Chengdu.

Bukowiecki, the silver medalist at the 2019 European Athletics Championships, is one of the most experienced members of Poland's team at the event, which opens on Friday.

However, doubts remain over his fitness and conditioning — in May, the 26-year-old revealed that he had ruptured his knee ligaments several weeks earlier.
