The Polish star scored 36 points against Russia during their pool play match when Russia won in 5. Kurek was the star of the match and was almost unstoppable. He scored 36 points – 31 kills, 3 blocks and 2 aces.
According to the FIVB, the 27 year old is now part of the “Over 30 Club” and he is next to Germany’s Georg Grozer who holds the Olympic scoring record with 39 points.
