This is the third Olympic medal for Naja, who won bronze together with Beata Mikolajczyk in London in 2012, and in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Pulawska and Naja won silver in the K2 500m race at the European Canoeing Championships in Poznan, western Poland, in June. And two years ago, they won silver at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Szeged, Hungary.
