The medal won by Ada Majewska, Nikola Mazur, Kamila Stormowska and Gabriela Topolska marked one of Poland's most significant achievements in short-track team events in the last decade, public broadcaster Polish Radio's sports desk reported.

The Netherlands won the gold on Sunday, clocking in at 4:06.722, while South Korea secured the silver, with a time 4:07.831.

The Polish relay team finished at 4:12.003.

Its bronze medal marked the first podium finish for a Polish short-track speed skater this season and the first World Cup medal for a Polish women's relay team in the history of the sport, according to broadcaster TVP Sport.
