Early life

edit

Mirosław is originally from Lublin, Poland. She started in sports at the age of seven and initially pursued swimming. She switched to speed climbing in 2007 being influenced by her older sister Małgorzata.[5] She studied at the Lublin University of Technology. Up until 2019, she had worked as a physical education teacher in one of the schools in Lublin.[6]

Competing as Aleksandra Rudzińska, she won the women's world championship speed climbing bronze medal at the 2014 IFSC Climbing World Championships in Gijón, Spain.[7] She became the women's speed climbing world champion in September 2018 at the 2018 IFSC Climbing World Championships in Innsbruck.[8]

Mirosław defended her world title and won her second women's competition speed climbing world gold medal a year later, at the 2019 IFSC Climbing World Championships in Hachioji, Japan.[9][10] During the same competition Mirosław reached the finals of the combined event qualifying her for the 2020 Olympics.[11][12] She won two stages of the IFSC Climbing World Cup in speed climbing, at Chamonix in July 2018 and at Wujiang in May 2019.[13] Previously she finished in second place at Chamonix in July 2016, and third at Wujiang in October 2016.[13]

On 4 August 2021, during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics she established the initial women's Olympic Record in competition speed climbing with 6.97 s.[14] She improved her time in the finals on 6 August, setting a new women's world record with 6.84 s.[15] She finished in 4th place in the overall standings and did not win a medal.

On 27 May 2022, during the second qualification round of the IFSC Climbing World Cup in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, she broke her own previous speed-climbing world record with a time of 6.53 seconds.[16]

On 28 April 2023, during the IFSC Climbing World Cup in Seoul, South Korea, she broke her world records four times.[17] The final world record she set that evening, in the finals, was 6.25 seconds.[18]

On 15 September 2023, Mirosław qualified for the 2024 Olympics in the European Qualifier.[19] In the qualification round, she also set a new world record of 6.24 seconds.[20]

On 5 August 2024, during the qualification heats at the 2024 Olympics, Mirosław broke her world records twice, and set a new world record of 6.06 seconds.[2] She defeated Spain's Leslie Romero Pérez, Poland's Aleksandra Kałucka and China's Deng Lijuan in the knock out stage on her way to Olympic gold medal. As a recognition of her achievements, a mural depicting Mirosław beating the world record was created by artist Michał Ćwiek in her hometown of Lublin.[21]
