Career
editGorczak represented Poland at the 2024 Summer Paralympics and finished in fourth place in the shot put F53 event with a throw of 8.41 metres. An appeal of the national delegation against a false attempt led to Giga Ochkhikidze's gold medal being revoked, and awarding Gorczak a bronze medal.[2][3] However, Ochkhikidze's gold medal was later reinstated following another appeal.[4]
