Justyna Święty-Ersetic (Polish pronunciation: [jusˈtɨna ˈɕfjɛntɨ ɛrˈsɛtit͡s]; born 3 December 1992) is a Polish sprinter specialising in the 400 metres.[3] She was the 2018 European champion and a two-time European Indoor Championship medallist in this event. Święty-Ersetic won many medals at major championships as part of Polish 4 × 400 m relays, including a gold in the mixed relay and a silver in the women's relay at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She is multiple Polish national outdoor and indoor champion.

Career

[edit]

Justyna Święty-Ersetic competed in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. She won the bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships in the event. At the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, she won an individual gold and later also anchored the Polish squad to the win despite the fact that both finals were separated by less than two hours.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics she represented Poland in the 4 x 400 m mixed relay, winning gold alongside Karol Zalewski, Natalia Kaczmarek and Kajetan Duszyński. A few days later, Święty-Ersetic anchored the women's 4 × 400 m relay (Kaczmarek, Iga Baumgart-Witan and Małgorzata Hołub-Kowalik), sealing a silver for the group.[4][5]

In March 2022, Święty-Ersetic won for the second time World Athletics Indoor Tour in her specialist distance after her 2020 victory, breaking the meeting record in Madrid.[6]

Her personal bests in the 400 metres are 50.41 seconds outdoors (Berlin 2018), and 51.04 seconds indoors (Toruń 2022).[7] She was part of teams which set national records for the women's and mixed 4 × 400 m relay (both Tokyo 2021), and women's indoor 4 × 400 m relay (Birmingham 2018).
