Monika Bronicka (born 4 May 1977) is a Polish former sailor, who specialized in the Europe class.[1] She was selected to compete for Poland in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and also scored top fifteen placements in a major international regatta, spanning the World and European Championships.[2] Bronicka is a member of the sailing squad for AZS UWM Olsztyn, under the tutelage of her personal coach and eventual spouse Mariusz Delgas.[3]
Bronicka made her Olympic debut in Sydney 2000, finishing a credible fourteenth in the Europe class with a satisfying net grade of 95, but narrowly falling short from the top ten spot by a distant twelve-point deficit.[4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Bronicka qualified for her second Polish team in the Europe class by placing fourteenth and receiving a berth from the 2003 ISAF World Championships in Cadiz. Unlike her previous Games, Bronicka could not be able to improve her Olympic feat with mediocre marks recorded throughout the eleven-race series, sitting her in twenty-first position with 162 net points.[5]
