She set a new European record with a time of 25.05 seconds, giving in only to Venezuela's Lisbeli Vera Andrade, and Brittini Mason of the US.

Poland has so far collected 25 medals at the Tokyo Paralympics, seven gold, six silver and 12 bronze.

But one of the bronzes, won by visually impaired track cyclist Marcin Polak and his sighted pilot Michał Ładosz on the first day of competition in Tokyo, is clouded by doping allegations.

The Tokyo Paralympic Games conclude on Sunday.
