Renata Knapik-Miazga (Knapik; born 15 July 1988) is a Polish épée fencer. She participated in the 2020 and the 2024 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal in the épée team competition at the latter.[1] [2]
Knapik took up fencing at a club in Kraków after playing with sticks as a child.[3] When she was 14, she was forbidden by her doctors to continue fencing because of problems with her right hand. She switched her weapon hand and went on.[3] She won both an individual and team bronze medal at the 2007 Junior European Championships, then a silver medal at the 2011 U23 European Championships.
In the senior category she climbed her first World Cup podium in 2010 with a third place in Florina. She was national champion of Poland in 2012 and 2013. At the 2013 European Championships in Zagreb she reached the quarter-finals by defeating Ukraine's Anfisa Pochkalova, then lost to Romania's Ana Maria Brânză and came away with a bronze medal.[4]
Knapik studies civil engineering from the Tadeusz Kościuszko University of Technology.
