The second gold medal for Poland was picked up by sprint canoeist Tomasz Kaczor on Wednesday.
More than 4,000 athletes from 50 countries are competing in Minsk for 200 sets of medals in 23 sports during the 2nd European Games, which provide a gateway to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for European athletes.
