Zdzisław Motyka

Zdzisław Motyka (23 January 1907 – 21 March 1969) was a Polish cross-country skier. He competed at the 1928 Winter Olympics and the 1932 Winter Olympics. Motyka competed in the 18 kilometre event both times, finishing 23rd (with a time of 1:58:10) and 32nd (1:41:58). In 1932, he also competed in the 50&kilometre event, not finishing after a fall resulted in broken skis and bruises.

Motyka studied as a carpentry apprentice, graduating from a local wood industry school in 1923. The headmaster of that school promoted skiing to the students, which Motyka took up.

He was awarded the Bronze Cross of Merit in 1931 "for merits in the field of sports development". Motyka worked as a coach, sporting goods store manager, announcer, judge, and sports official after competing. Stanisław Motyka, another Olympic skier, was his cousin.
