And on the fifth day...Mauer-Rozanska shot for first Polish medal in Sydney

Sydney After failing to qualify for the final of the 10-meter air-rifle competition five days ago, Renata Mauer-Rozanska made a spectacular comeback and yesterday won the Olympic gold in the 50-metre rifle 3 position. Mauer-Rozanska silenced the critics who attacked her for not qualifying and defending her Olympic gold in the final in the air-rifle. Just as in the Atlanta games, in Sydney Mauer-Rozanska was the first Polish athlete to win an Olympic medal. Soon afterwards Krzysztof Kolomanski and Michal Staniszewski won a silver in the C2 canoeing slalom. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 1)
