Consequently, the first Polish Championships were scheduled for July 1920 in Lwów. At the time, Poland had only a few athletics clubs, located in Warsaw, Kraków, and Lwów, with just 265 registered athletes nationwide. Competition overview The championships spanned three days, from Friday, 16 July, to Sunday, 18 July 1920. Athletes competed in 19 events, with an additional 4 × 400 m relay held, where the Polish national team set a new national record with a time of 3:41.6. The 100 m race was the most popular, with 15 athletes competing across four heats. Stanisław Sośnicki, representing Polonia Warsaw, won the most individual medals, triumphing in the 100 m, standing high jump, triple jump, long jump, and standing long jump. However, local clubs Pogoń Lwów and Czarni Lwów dominated the medal table, collectively securing 12 of the 19 gold medals. Despite setting several national records and achieving Poland's best results for the 1920 season, the performances lagged behind contemporary international standards.
