‘I Cried For 6 Hours’: Swiatek Brutally Honest About Emotional Damage After Olympic Shock

'I Cried For 6 Hours': Swiatek Brutally Honest About Emotional Damage After Olympic Shock

Iga Swiatek failed to realize her dream of winning the gold medal for Poland at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and she was devastated, which she openly discussed.

This wasn’t the first time the Polish player failed to reach a goal or realize a dream, but this was a particularly painful experience because it was a really good chance for her to do so.

Clay is her best surface by far, and she has been the most dominant player on that surface for a couple of years now. The Court Philippe-Chatrier is where she played some of her best tennis ever, so it was just a perfect chance to win a gold in Paris.

Everything lined up for her perfectly, but as it tends to happen in life often, things go badly when everything seems perfect. She cruised through the draw until the semi-final when she faced Qinwen Zheng of China, who outplayed her fair and square to advance to the final.

It was a match in which Swiatek wasn’t good enough. It is not something that happens frequently, but it happened that time, and it was devastating for the Polish player.

She would later win the bronze medal as a consolation prize, but it didn’t dull the pain from the semi-final defeat. Speaking after that bronze medal match, Swiatek explained how painful that loss to Zheng truly was.

One thing she admitted even before was that the pressure of the situation got to her a little bit. It’s not a huge surprise because there was tremendous pressure, as she was a huge favorite.

She was declared the winner even before she took the courts, which only added to the drama, but it was a valuable lesson for the World No. 1 player. She will learn from this experience and handle the next similar situation much better.
