Angelika Sarna

Angelika Sarna, also known as "Sarenka" – the Polish word for roe deer – is an 800-meter runner with a graceful style like no other. Her running journey began at age eight, when she surprised everyone by beating her elders in a race. That moment led her to trade dance for running, and after 14 years of dedicated training, one of her greatest achievements so far is competing at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Off the track, she finds joy in a perfectly arranged meal and a peaceful, orderly workspace.
