Source-derived summary

Aleksandra Uścińska (born December 2, 1984) is a Polish taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the women's featherweight category. She picked up a total of thirteen medals in her taekwondo career, including a silver from the World Junior Championships in Killarney, Ireland, and represented her nation Poland at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Uscinska also trained as a member of the taekwondo squad for Rapid Srem Sports Club (Polish: Klub Sportowy Rapid Srem) in her native Poznań, under head coach and master Robert Sadurski.

Uscinska qualified as a lone taekwondo fighter for the Polish squad in the women's featherweight class (57 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and granting a berth from the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan. Having a lack of international experience in the sport, Uscinska endured her first-round defeat 2–11 to Spain's Sonia Reyes. With her Spanish opponent narrowly losing the quarterfinals to South Korea's Jang Ji-won, Uscinska withered her hopes to compete for the Olympic bronze medal through the repechage.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Aleksandra Uścińska”, the useful work is to connect “polish sportsperson” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11685207. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1984 and 2004.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
