Notes

Tokyo 2020, top worn by Maria ANDREJCZYK (POL), javelin silver medallist. Having finished fourth in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Maria Andrejczyk won the silver medal in Tokyo in 2021 with a throw of 64.61m, finishing behind Shiying Liu of China. In a wonderful gesture of generosity, she auctioned off her medal to help pay for the surgery of an infant with a serious heart defect. Polish convenience store chain Zabka won the auction but said that Andrejczyk could keep her medal. Donated by the athlete
