His personal best throw is 71.84 metres, ranks him fifth in all-time longest discus throw distances, achieved on 8 June 2013 at Hengelo, the Netherlands.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Ma\u0142achowski’s throwing distances are seen as even more remarkable as he is not as tall as most discus throwers. Ma\u0142achowski is one inch shorter than Beijing Olympic champion Gerd Kanter and three inches shorter than world champion Robert Harting and discus great Virgillius Alekna. The typical height of a discus thrower is between 1.95 and 2.00\u00a0m (6\u00a0ft 5\u00a0in and 6\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in). Despite his height disadvantage, Ma\u0142achowski makes up for it with his incredible ring speed. Malachowski is seen as one of the quickest discus throwers in the ring of all time, closely followed by R\u00f3bert Fazekas.[citation needed]On 19 August 2008, he won an Olympic silver medal in discus throw (67.82 m) placing behind Gerd Kanter (68.82 m). On 23 May 2009, in Halle he threw 68.75 m with a new PB and NR. On 14 July 2009, he was second in IAAF Golden League Berlin, Germany (67.70 m) to be only beaten by Gerd Kanter (67.88 m).With an injured finger, Ma\u0142achowski took a silver medal (69.15 m – NR) at 2009 World Championships in Berlin.In 2010, he took victory in Golden Gala, IAAF Diamond League (68.78 m), beating second-placed Gerd Kanter (67.69 m), and another win in British Grand Prix (69.83 m – NR).  Polish discus thrower Piotr Malachowski in 2020On 13 August 2016, Ma\u0142achowski won his second Olympic silver (67.55 m), being surprisingly beaten by German Christoph Harting (68.37 m – PB).He announced shortly afterwards that he would sell his Olympic silver medal to raise funds for a 3-year-old boy with a rare form of cancer.[1] The medal was sold at an auction a few days later.[2]Table of ContentsAchievements[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Achievements[edit]YearCompetitionVenuePositionNotesRepresenting \u00a0Poland2001European Junior ChampionshipsGrosseto, Italy5th52.37 m2002World Junior ChampionshipsKingston, Jamaica6th60.46 m (1.75\u00a0kg)2003European U23 ChampionshipsBydgoszcz, Poland9th54.79 m2005European U23 ChampionshipsErfurt, Germany2nd63.99 m2006European CupM\u00e1laga, Spain1st66.21 mEuropean ChampionshipsGothenburg, Sweden6th64.57 mWorld Athletics FinalStuttgart, Germany6th62.50 m2007European CupMunich, Germany1st66.09 mWorld ChampionshipsOsaka, Japan12th60.77 mWorld Athletics FinalStuttgart, Germany3rd65.35 m2008Olympic GamesBeijing, China2nd67.82 mWorld Athletics FinalStuttgart, Germany2nd66.07 m2009European Team ChampionshipsLeiria, Portugal1st66.24 mWorld ChampionshipsBerlin, Germany2nd69.15 mWorld Athletics FinalThessaloniki, Greece3rd65.60 m2010European ChampionshipsBarcelona, Spain1st68.87 m 2011World ChampionshipsDaegu, South Korea9th63.37 m2012Olympic GamesLondon, United Kingdom5th67.19 m2013World ChampionshipsMoscow, Russia2nd68.36 m2014European ChampionshipsZ\u00fcrich, Switzerland4th63.54 m2015World ChampionshipsBeijing, China1st67.40 m2016European ChampionshipsAmsterdam, Netherlands1st67.06 mOlympic GamesRio de Janeiro, Brazil2nd67.55 m2017World ChampionshipsLondon, United Kingdom5th65.24 m2018European ChampionshipsBerlin, Germany\u2013NM2019World ChampionshipsDoha, Qatar17th (q)62.20 m2021Olympic GamesTokyo, Japan15th (q)62.68 mFor his sport achievements, he received: Golden Cross of Merit in 2008.
