Bronicka made her Olympic debut in Sydney 2000, finishing a credible fourteenth in the Europe class with a satisfying net grade of 95, but narrowly falling short from the top ten spot by a distant twelve-point deficit.[4]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Bronicka qualified for her second Polish team in the Europe class by placing fourteenth and receiving a berth from the 2003 ISAF World Championships in Cadiz. Unlike her previous Games, Bronicka could not be able to improve her Olympic feat with mediocre marks recorded throughout the eleven-race series, sitting her in twenty-first position with 162 net points.[5]
