My shooting is not so good, so I was just thinking, `Run fast, run fast. But I got the medal and its fantastic.Nowacka surged to the lead after winning the one-touch fencing event and remained there after a solid run in equestrian. She was in the lead early during the running-shooting competition, but began to fade over the final 800 meters.But, like Clouvel, she was able to break a long modern pentathlon drought for her country; the medal was Polands first in the sport since the 1992 Barcelona Games.
