Wait...what? Are you thinking of Finnish? I have no problem at all omitting
a pronoun in the third person.

A excerpt from a story I'm reading at the moment illustrating the point:
"Jednak po dwóch godzinach wysiłku STWIERDZILI, że szara powłoka tylko
nieznacznie uniosła się nad podłogą..."
...where the subject of "stwierdzic" is two men from the previous sentence.
