Konrad Bukowiecki (Polish pronunciation: [ˈkɔnrad bukɔˈvjɛt͡ski]; born 17 March 1997) is a Polish athlete competing primarily in the shot put.[1] He won gold at the 2017 European Athletics Indoor Championships and at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics. He holds the world junior record in the shot put at 21.14 metres and has a personal best of 22.25 metres. He initially won at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Athletics, but was disqualified for an anti-doping offense.

Personal life

Konrad Bukowiecki was born in Szczytno. His father, Ireneusz Bukowiecki, is a former decathlete.

Career

Bukowiecki is coached by his father. He won the gold medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships and at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics. In addition, he currently holds the junior indoor world record with the 6 kg implement, as well as world youth indoor bests with the 6 kg and 5 kg implements.

In his debut at the senior level competition, he finished sixth at the 2015 European Indoor Championships with the European absolute best with the 7.26 kg shot. Later that season he added the European Junior title to his accolades and competed at the 2015 World Championships where he, however, failed to record a valid mark.

During the 2016 indoor season Bukowiecki further bettered his European junior best with the senior implement to 20.61 metres. He later finished fourth at the 2016 World Indoor Championships in Portland.[2]

In 2019, he set his personal best result by beating the 22 meters barrier and achieving 22.25 m during the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial Meeting held at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów.[3][4][5]
