Unfortunately for Mendelski there are no 200 m races at the Olympics. As a junior he won two K4 silver medals at the 1999 World Junior Championships in Zagreb (500 m and 1000 m). In the senior Poland four-man (K4) 1000 m kayak crew Mendelski has won two European bronze medals (2004 and 2005). At the [[Canoeing at the 2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Olympics]] however they had to settle for [[Canoeing_at_the_2000_Summer_Olympics#K-4_1000_m|eighth place]] in the final.


Mendelski also won two silver medals in the K-4 1000 m event at the [[ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships]], earning them in [[2006 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships|2006]] and [[2007 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships|2007]], and a bronze in the K-4 500 m event at 2006.
His most recent success came at the [[2006 Flatwater Racing World Championships|2006 World Championships]] in [[Szeged]], Hungary, where he won a silver medal in the K4 1000 m. In the K1 200 m, however, he was surprisingly eliminated in the semi-final.


He also competed in two [[Summer Olympics]], earning his best finish of sixth in the [[Canoeing at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's K-4 1000 metres|K-4 1000 m]] event at [[Beijing]] in [[2008 Summer Olympics|2008]].
