The Pole and the Belgian finished runners-up after they were beaten 10-12, 8-11, 11-8, 7-11 by Russia's Lev Katsman and Maksim Grebnev in the championship match.

Dyjas' silver was the only medal for Poland at the championships, which ended in its capital on Sunday.

Some of Europe’s top table tennis players descended on Warsaw to compete in the continental championships after a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The event featured more than 200 male and female competitors from 20 countries, among them Poland's multiple Olympian and Paralympian Natalia Partyka.
