Medal record
|
Karol Hoffmann (born 1 June 1989) is a Polish triple jumper. He won a silver medal at the 2016 European Athletics Championships and placed 12th at the 2016 Olympics.[2]
Hoffmann's father Zdzisław won the 1983 world title in the triple jump and still holds the Polish national record. Karol has a tattoo of that record on his leg. He first played football, but at the age of 10 had a bad hit to his nose. Doctors advised him to avoid any further nose injuries, so he changed to athletics.[1]
