Łukasz Wójt (born 13 May 1982) is a Polish swimmer, who specialized in middle-distance freestyle and individual medley events.[2] He represented his nation Poland at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has won two bronze medals in a major international competition, spanning the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, Thailand, and the 2008 European Short Course Championships in Rijeka, Croatia.[1][3][4] Apart from his international career, Wojt has also claimed multiple Polish championship titles and currently holds the national record in the 200 (1:54.81) and 400 m individual medley (4:03.20), both set at the FINA World Cup meet in Berlin, Germany.[5]
Wojt competed for the Polish squad in two swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He qualified for the Games with a third-place time in 2:00.32 to clear the sub-2:01 barrier and achieve the FINA A-cut in the 200 m individual medley (2:01.40) at the Summer Universiade one year earlier in Bangkok, Thailand.[4][6] In the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay, Wojt and his teammates Łukasz Gąsior, Michał Rokicki, and Przemysław Stańczyk finished the second heat of the prelims with an aggregate time of 7:18.09. Swimming the second leg, Wojt recorded a split of 1:48.54, the fastest of the Polish foursome.[7] In the 200 m individual medley, Wojt put up a fantastic swim with a help of his powerful backstroke leg to take the sixth spot in heat four with a 2:01.54, but fell short for the semifinals, finishing twenty-sixth overall in the prelims.[8]
