Maciej Lepiato Biography
Injuries and Setbacks
Throughout his career, he has faced several injuries. In 2010, he injured his right heel, sidelining him for seven months. A left foot injury in 2011 kept him out for three months. In 2017, another left foot injury disrupted his training ahead of the World Championships in London. In June 2019, he tore his Achilles tendon during a competition, causing him to miss the World Championships in Dubai.
Achievements and Awards
Despite these setbacks, he has achieved remarkable success. He was named Athlete of the Year for 2023 by the Polish Paralympic Committee and received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta for his performance at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. He was also named the 2012 Discovery of the Year in a Polish national sports review poll.
Shared Gold at 2023 World Championships
One of his notable achievements came at the 2023 World Championships in Paris. He shared gold in the men's T64 high jump with Jonathan Broom-Edwards of Great Britain. Both athletes failed to clear 2.07m and opted to share the gold medal instead of a jump-off. This event was unexpected and will be remembered as a significant moment in World Para Athletics.
Future Ambitions
Looking ahead, he aims to win a gold medal at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. He and fellow athlete Lucyna Kornobys have been named Poland's flag bearers for the opening ceremony of these games. His dedication to Para athletics remains strong as he continues to train under coach Zbigniew Lewkowicz at START Gorzow Wielkopolski.
His philosophy is simple: "Do what you love and what makes you smile." This guiding principle has helped him navigate both successes and challenges throughout his career.
