Agnieszka Kobus-Zawojska, Marta Wieliczko, Maria Sajdak and Katarzyna Zillmann came in front of Australia but lost to China in an event at which they had been tipped for a medal.
Poland’s women’s quadruple sculls team has been making steady progress for almost 10 years, taking eighth place at the 2012 London Olympics then a bronze medal four years later in Brazil.
