Before his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis in 2004, Gaworski had been a successful able-bodied fencer, competing in national championships.
After his diagnosis, he transitioned to wheelchair fencing, where he went on to become an eight-time Polish national champion. He also earned a silver and a bronze at the European Championships and a bronze at the World Championships, both individually and in team events.
Gaworski's passing is a significant loss to the sports community, where he was widely respected for his resilience and achievements.
