At the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships he threw a personal best and Polish indoor record of 21.20 m. However, the level of competition was so high that this was only enough for fifth place behind a Canadian record-breaking Dylan Armstrong.

It was the first time in championships history that five men had gone beyond the 21 m mark.

In the outdoor season, Majewski competed at the 2010 European Athletics Championships and won the shot put silver medal.
