Olympics-Team Poland

Background

Poland competed continuously at the Olympic Games from 1924 through 1980, and after boycotting Los Angeles in 1984, returned to the Olympics in 1988 at Seoul. Prior to 1924, several Poles probably competed for other countries. In 1908, Jerzy Gajdzyk, his name Americanized to George Gaidzik, won a springboard diving bronze medal for the United States, and in 1912 the Polish-born Julius Beresford (né Wisniewski) won a silver medal with the British coxed fours outriggers crew. The 1912 Russian Olympic team included eight Poles, and additionally, one Polish sculptor (Antoni Wiwulski) was entered in the first Olympic art competitions.^[1]

This is an ongoing project to ensure that all Olympians who represented Poland are on Wikitree.

• Connected to their family
• Connected to the Global Tree, if possible
• With profiles that have biographical, family, and sporting information
• Well sourced
