Zbigniew Bródka is a Polish long track speed skater who won the men's 1500 metres at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, winning by only three thousandths of a second and becoming the first Pole to take Olympic gold in that event. Born on 8 October 1984 in Głowno, he came to long track after competing in middle distance running and short track, and he often trains in Germany because Poland lacks suitable facilities. He made his Olympic debut in Vancouver in 2010, helped Poland win team pursuit bronze at the 2013 World Single Distance Championships, and won the men's 1500 metres World Cup in the 2012 to 2013 season, a first for a Polish skater. He works as a firefighter in Łowicz and carried the Polish flag at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics.
