Robert Błoński left “Przegląd Sportowy” after more than 10 years and began working for the sports portal of Telewizja Polska. – For the first time, after 32 years in the printed press, I will work exclusively for the Internet – he tells “Presserwis”.
“On July 31, I finished working for Przegląd Sportowy for over 10 years. I would like to thank @Polsport for the opportunity and employment in the oldest sports newspaper in Poland, as well as @PawelWolosik and @Marcin_Dobosz for the last few years. It was an honor to work with you! Time for a new challenge!” he wrote on social media.
Robert Błoński: “I experienced unforgettable moments”
This challenge is to be the Tvpsport.pl portal, where, as before, he will write texts, mainly about football. – My first text was published on Saturday evening. This week, however, I am flying to Denmark for a match of Legia Warsaw footballers in the Conference League – he says in an interview with “Presserwis”.

Of the currently active sports journalists, Robert Błoński has probably been the one who has been reporting on matches and all events related to the Polish national football team in writing for the longest time. Working for “Gazeta Wyborcza” in 1992-2013 (he started at the age of 18), and from February 2014 to 2024 for “Przegląd Sportowy”, he also covered ski jumping and cross-country skiing.
On July 31, I finished working for Przegląd Sportowy for over 10 years. Thank you very much @Polsport for the opportunity and employment in the oldest sports newspaper in Poland and @PawelWolosik i @Marcin_Dobosz for the past few years. It was an honor to work with you!
Time for a new challenge🙂— robert błoński (@robert_blonski) August 2, 2024
– I have 22 years of work behind me at “GW”, where everything began and blossomed. Then I came to “Przegląd Sportowy”. I had the opportunity to see for myself that a real sports journalist was, is or will be at “PS”. I experienced unforgettable moments there, like the one when we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the newspaper during the Sports Champions Ball. I said goodbye to both the newspaper and my friends with a good party – says Robert Błoński. – We shook hands with the wonderful editor-in-chief Paweł Wołosik, head of the football department Marcin Dobosz and other people from “Przegląd” – he adds.
Błoński was convinced by TVP’s offer
The journalist states that he did not expect a proposal from TVP, but he was convinced by the arguments of the director of TVP Sport, Jakub Kwiatkowski, as well as the head of the TVP sports website, Agnieszka Prachniak.
