Career
Baraszkiewicz debuted at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, but was eliminated in the first semifinal of the C-2 500 m event. Baraszkiewicz publicly voiced his suspicion that some of their rivals were guilty of doping. In 2005 Baraszkiewicz switched to the individual C-1 event, winning silver at the 2005 International Coach Federation Canoe Sprint World Championships over 500 m.
2006 proved a frustrating season, with three fourth-place finishes in major C-1 finals (European 200 m & 500 m and World Championship 500 m).
