For her first event, the women's individual sabre, Jozwiak first defeated Venezuela's Alejandra Benítez in the preliminary round of thirty-two, before losing out her next match to U.S. fencer Mariel Zagunis, with a score of 13–15.[2] Few days later, she joined with her fellow fencers and teammates Irena Więckowska and Aleksandra Socha for the women's team sabre. Jozwiak and her team, however, lost the fifth place match to the Russian team (led by Sofiya Velikaya), with a total score of 36 touches.[3]
