Please point me to a movie in youtube showing the Polish press conference and a minute:second of that film where this happens. Unless you do that I refuse to conduct any furhter argument with you.

Very good – here is the video.

Go to 14:03 in the video. In there, under timestamp 8:40:47 there are three phrases:
1. PIC We are leaving for second circle (aka goaround command)
2. 2nd – GoAround.
3. Navigator: 80,70,60, 50

Problem is – None of these phrases should have been stamped with 8:40:47. It's a mistake or misinformation. Due to the fact that Polish timestamps were shifted by timezone and about 2.5[s] – different time settings in Polish FDR, it led to three different versions of transcripts regarding where exactly was that critical GoAround command was supposed to take place, for example, this one:

8.40.45 1 Pilot: Odchodzimy na drugie zajście.
Nawigator: Sto. Dziewięćdziesiąt.
TAWS: PULL UP
8.40.46 2 Pilot: Odchodzimy.
Nawigator: Osiemdziesiąt, siedemdziesiąt.
8.40.47 Nawigator: Osiemdziesiąt, siedemdziesiąt. Sześćdziesiąt, pięćdziesiąt.
Someone then tried to place it altogether with Russsian transcript, and ended up with multiple "goarounds" by 2nd pilot, among many other things.

Note that the Russian transcript has the 2nd pilot goaround at 10:40:50.

Meaning – we had a TECHNICAL mystery to solve and we solved it here at this website, together, with all the different "teams" participating. A very good use of the resources of this website, wouldn't you agree?

A different part of the Polish presentation allowed to clarify that. Walk back a few pages and you will see the whole thing.

The Polish commission should have published the complete new transcript before publishing the "preliminary presentation" with new phrases which then resulted in journalists producing different new transcripts.
