Bartosz Górczak (born 8 January 1988) is a Polish para-athlete specializing in shot put. He represented Poland at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.

Career

Gorczak represented Poland at the 2024 Summer Paralympics and finished in fourth place in the shot put F53 event with a throw of 8.41 metres. An appeal of the national delegation against a false attempt led to Giga Ochkhikidze's gold medal being revoked, and awarding Gorczak a bronze medal.^[2][3] However, Ochkhikidze's gold medal was later reinstated following another appeal.^[4]
