Career

Włoszczowska won the silver medal in mountain biking at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Since 2009, she has lent her name to a cross-country race in her home town of Jelenia Góra, called "Jelenia Góra Trophy Maja Włoszczowska MTB Race". Riders such as Miguel Martinez, Catharine Pendrel or Mary McConneloug have taken part in it.

Włoszczowska became the world champion in elite cross-country mountain biking in 2010. At the 2011 World Championships, she was well-positioned to retain her title, but lost over a minute due to a flat tire and finished in second place, 28 seconds behind Catharine Pendrel.[3]

In June 2015, she won the bronze medal in cross-country mountain biking at the inaugural European Games.

In August 2016, Włoszczowska won the silver medal in mountain biking at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] She was on the start list of 2018 Cross Country European Championships and finished 4.
