The Polish top speed climber was bound to beat her own record. In March, at the Polish Championships in Lublin, Mirosław finished first with a result of 6.39 seconds, or 0.14 seconds better than her own world record from Salt Lake City. It could not be approved officially, because the championship was not an official International Federation of Sport Climbing event.

In Seoul, Mirosław begins the road that is to bring her to the top at the World Championships in Brno in August. On May 6 and 7 she will take part in the World Cup event in Jakarta, and on May 20 she will move to the top event in Salt Lake City.

During the August event in Brno Mirosław will fight for the Olympic qualification for the Paris Games. In 2024 speed climbers will compete in a separate competition for the first time.

In Seoul, the men’s world record was also broken. Leonardo Veddriq became the first climber in history to go below five seconds. He set the world record to 4,984 seconds.
