Career

A few days later, Święty-Ersetic anchored the women's 4 × 400 m relay (Kaczmarek, Iga Baumgart-Witan and Małgorzata Hołub-Kowalik), sealing a silver for the group.[4][5]

In March 2022, Święty-Ersetic won for the second time World Athletics Indoor Tour in her specialist distance after her 2020 victory, breaking the meeting record in Madrid.[6]

Her personal bests in the 400 metres are 50.41 seconds outdoors (Berlin 2018), and 51.04 seconds indoors (Toruń 2022).[7] She was part of teams which set national records for the women's and mixed 4 × 400 m relay (both Tokyo 2021), and women's indoor 4 × 400 m relay (Birmingham 2018).
