Europe’s Best Male Player Of 2018 Bartosz Kurek (Poland)

After getting cut from the 2014 World Championship roster, I honestly thought we would see less of him with the Polish national team. Four years later, Kurek led Poland to win their second consecutive World Championship title and he was also named as the Most Valuable Player.

The accolades keep on pouring and one of the most recent one is Kurek being named as Europe’s Best Male Volleyball Player Of 2018.

Per CEV:

Kurek was pivotal to Poland’s success at the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship in Italy and Bulgaria, where he received the award for the Most Valuable Player of the tournament and was the best scorer of the competition with an amazing tally of 171 points. Now 30 years old, Kurek is also a former European champion (2009) and bronze medallist from the EuroVolley (2011), as well as a gold medal winner from the 2012 edition of the FIVB World League. With the national team of Poland, Kurek finished second and third in the 2011 and 2015 editions of the FIVB World Cup.

Moreover, he is a three-time national champion of Poland with PGE Skra BELCHATOW and a silver and bronze medal winner in the CEV Volleyball Champions League with that same team (in 2012 and 2010, respectively).

In case you didn’t know, he playing in the Polish League this season with Stocznia Szczecin.
