Born in Bytom and a member of TS AKS Chorzów athletics club, she made her first international appearances with the Polish 4 × 400 metres relay team. They placed eighth at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics then she took her first medal, a silver, at the 2011 European Athletics Junior Championships.[1] A senior debut followed at the 2012 European Athletics Championships, where she ran individually (coming 20th overall) and was eighth in the relay final. Later that season she was part of the Polish delegation for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London but was not selected to run in the relay. An appearance at the 2013 European Athletics U23 Championships brought Gorzkowska her first title, as she led off a team Małgorzata Hołub, Agnieszka Karczmarczyk and Justyna Święty.[2]
Gorzkowska received her first senior medal at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships. Teaming up again with Hołub and Święty and joined by Ewelina Ptak, the Polish quartet held off a challenge from Romania to take the silver medals behind the host nation, the United States.
