Eugeniusz Lokajski “Brok” – Insights of a war reporter

Eugeniusz Lokajski „Brok“

Eugeniusz Lokajski, who used the pseudonym “Brok”, was a successful athlete in the thirties, a Polish champion who held the record for javelin throwing for many years. At the World Student Games in Budapest in 1935 he came in second to the German javelin thrower Gerhard Stöck, and at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin he hurt himself while warming up, and came in seventh. Rather than bringing back a medal from Berlin, he brought back a Leica.
