She received the award for the first time in Singapore, following in the footsteps of Polish sailor Mateusz Kusznierewicz, who won the same honor 25 years ago.

Lewandowska has made significant achievements in the 29er class, a training platform for the Olympic 49erFX, where she has been competing for two years.

In December 2023, she won the Youth World Championship as a helmswoman, teaming up with Julia Żmudzińska.

Later, with Krzysztof Królik as her crew member, she triumphed at both the Youth World and European Championships.
