Michał Haratyk (born 10 April 1992 in Cieszyn) is a Polish athlete specialising in the shot put.^[2]

Career

He made his international debut at the 2016 World Indoor Championships where he finished distant fourteenth despite having the third farthest throw that indoor season. Later that year he achieved his biggest success to date by winning the silver medal in Amsterdam at the 2016 European Championships. His Olympic debut, however, was not as successful as he failed to qualify for the final at the Rio Games a month later.

His personal bests in the event are 21.23 metres outdoors (Kielce 2016) and 21.35 metres indoors (Łódź 2016).

Haratyk's older brother, Łukasz, was also a shot putter.
