Personal life

Her mother, 1996 Olympian Krystyna Leskiewicz-Lewinska, is her coach and also the head coach of the Polish rhythmic gymnastics national team, and head coach and president of the UKS Kopernik Wrocław where both Liliana and her other daughter Laura train.[4] Her father, Rajmund, is a basketball referee and a physical education teacher. She took up the sport at age 5 as a group gymnast after being gifted a ball at the National Youth Olympics.[5]

Career

Junior

She debuted into major competitions at the 2021 international tournament in Moscow in February, winning bronze in the all-around, 5th with hoop, ball, clubs and 12th with ribbon. In April, she participated in the Sofia Cup in Bulgaria, topping the all-around. In May she came second in the all-around and ball, and 3rd with clubs and topping hoop at the Irina Deleanu cup in Bucharest.[6] In September she competed at the Gdynia Cup.

In 2022 she returned to the Moscow Grand Prix, winning silver in all events.[7] She won the all-around at the Gdynia Cup and also won all the apparatus finals except hoop, where she finished in second.[8] The following week, she attended the World Challenge Cup in Portimão, getting bronze with hoop, silver with clubs and gold with ribbon.[9] Lewińska was then selected for the 2022 European Championship in Tel Aviv, Israel. She was the only junior gymnast representing Poland in the competition. She qualified for all four event finals and won two silvers with hoop and clubs and bronze with ribbon.[10]

At the 2023 Fellbach-Schmiden's international tournament, she didn't compete in the team competition but won silver with hoop and ribbon as well as gold with clubs.[11][12] In March she won gold in the all-around at the Aphrodite Cup in the category for those born in 2008 and silver with ball.[13][14] At the IT Sofia Cup, she won silver in the all-around as well as with hoop.[15][16] In May she won gold in teams, the all-around and with ball and clubs at the Gdynia Cup. Additionally, she won a silver with ribbon and bronze with hoop.[17][18][19][20][21][22] In July she competed at the Junior World Championships in Cluj-Napoca alongside the junior national group, where she made history by winning gold in the clubs and ribbon finals.[23]

Senior

2024

In 2024, she made her senior debut at World Cup Palaio Faliro, Greece, where she ended in 11th place in the all-around and won a bronze medal in the hoop final. In April, she competed at Sofia World Cup and took 7th place in the all-around. She qualified to two apparatus finals: clubs (6th) and ribbon (5th). She won her second World Cup medal at Tashkent World Cup, a bronze in the ribbon final.[24][25]

In May, Lewińska competed at the European Championships in Budapest, Hungary, where she finished 10th in the all-around final and won a silver medal in the clubs final. It was European medal won at the senior level by a gymnast representing Poland.[26] The Polish team won 7th place in the team competition.[27]

She failed to qualify to the 2024 Summer Olympics, being beaten by Vera Tugolukova, who won the quota for Cyprus. However, before the allocation of the spot was officially confirmed, the Polish Gymnastics Federation alleged that the judging was corrupt and that Lewińska's scores were lowered, preventing her from winning the Olympic berth. The supervising judge who changed Lewińska's scores was a Cypriot national.[28] The Polish Gymnastics Federation's president announced their intention to protest the results, and they filed appeals to the International Gymnastics Federation and the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation.[29] He later said that some of the judges at the competition had filed complaints as well.[30] The Polish Minister of Sport, Sławomir Nitras, also intervened by sending a letter to the FIG Executive Committee.[31]

2025

In February 2025, Evangelia Trikomiti, who was president of the superior jury at the 2024 European Championships, was banned from the sport for four years after the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) ruled she had altered the scores at the competition to ensure Tugolukova finished in the Olympic qualification place.[32][33]

In 2025, Lewinska began her season in late February by competing for the Italian club Polimnia Ritmica Romana during the first stage of the Italian Serie A1 club championship. She performed her new hoop routine and her team reached 9th place.[34] In March, she won gold medal in the all-around in front of Emilia Heichel at the Polish Cup, then won the silver all-around medal at the Gymnastik International behind Anastasia Simakova.[35][36] She next competed at the Grand Prix Marbella, where she took 4th place in the all-around behind Takhmina Ikromova and won the bronze medal in the hoop final.[37] On 29-30 March, she won the all-around at the Polish National Championships.[38] In April, she competed at World Cup Sofia and took 5th place in the all-around. She qualified to three apparatus finals; she won silver in the ribbon final, and she finished 4th in ball and 7th in clubs. On 25-27 April, she competed at World Cup Tashkent, where she won bronze in the all-around - her first World Cup all-around medal. In the finals, she took 7th place in hoop and ball and 5th place in ribbon.[39]

In June, she was selected to represent Poland at the 2025 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia with Polish group and Emilia Heichel. They took 7th place in team competition.[40] Liliana placed 6th in all-around final and qualified to three apparatus finals.[41] On July 18-20, she competed at World Cup Milan and took 11th place in all-around. She qualified to clubs final, placing 7th.[42] On July 25-27, she competed at World Challenge Cup in Cluj-Napoca, where she ended on 6th place in all-around. She qualified to three apparatus finals, winning bronze with hoop.[43] In August, Lewinska made her senior World Championships debut in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She took 17th place in all-around qualifications and qualified to one apparatus final.[44] In all-around final, she made a big mistake in her ball routine and finished on 16th place. She was 6th in clubs final. On September 13-14, she finished on 4th place in all-around and won bronze medal with ribbon at Brno Grand Prix.[45]
