Marcin Zawół (born 29 May 2002) is a Polish biathlete. He made his debut in the Biathlon World Cup in 2022.[1]
Career
[edit]Marcin Zawół competes for MKS Karkonosze Sporty Zimowe.[2] His first international appearances were at the 2019 Junior World Championships in Brezno-Osrblie, where he finished 72nd in the individual, 49th in the sprint, and 42nd in the pursuit. In the 2019/20 season, he competed mainly in the IBU Junior Cup, consistently finishing in the top 20 in individual races and the top 10 with the Polish relay team.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020/21 IBU Junior Cup was canceled, but Zawół got his first senior-level opportunities, including a 50th-place finish in the IBU Cup at Arber.[3] At the 2020 Junior World Championships in Lenzerheide, he placed 8th in the pursuit after finishing 26th in the sprint. His biggest career achievement came at the 2020 Youth Olympic Games, where he won gold in the sprint. He also finished 12th in the individual, 6th in the mixed relay, and 13th in the single mixed relay.[4][5]
In 2021/22, he returned to the IBU Junior Cup, securing two relay wins and a podium in the super sprint. This earned him a World Cup debut in Oberhof, where he placed 60th in the sprint and 55th in the pursuit. He remained in the World Cup team but did not surpass his 55th place. At the 2022 Junior World Championships in the Soldier Hollow, he finished 22nd in the individual.[6]
The 2022/23 season saw him competing regularly in the World Cup, excelling in relays. He helped Poland achieve its first men's relay top-10 finish since 2006/07, placing 8th in the mixed relay in Pokljuka and 10th in the men's relay in Ruhpolding.[7][8]
