I'm a big fan of Kurek but unfortunately h'e didnt win anything apart individual award.
In 2012 Max Mikhaylov won Russian Championship, Russian Supercup, Champions League, Olympic Games...It's not enough ?

I don't think Kurek deserves this prize based on play and results. Not over russian players who won the Olympics. About the team improvements I hope Netherlands will return to big volleyball this year. They have the players but they need a team

None BRA, ARG neither USA player at the top 10?!


Well, I would say the same: Kurek is a amazing player, but should not be the 1st on this renowed list.

Sergey was Awesome during the olympics. Brazilians ovation to him at the end of the match proves it. But Maxim Mikhaylov was awesome in 2012 in any competion.
In my opinion :

1)Maxim Mikhailov
2)Serguey Tetyukhin (award for all his carreer )
3)Murillo

Somehow I haven't seen this plebiscite ? But I agree with you guys that Kurek doesn't deserve the award for best player, someone from Russian NT should have won it like Tetyukhin, Mikhaylov, Muserski.

Unfortunately Kurek was half of season out because of injuries, that's the case for some players after Olympic season. Some of them just crumble: Kurek, Savani, Volkov, Nowakowski etc

Despite almost all commentaries here, I think Kurek well deserved the award - even just for his stunning performance during the World League. Oh.. Wait, I can almost hear it comming: World League is not Olympics!!! Well, but it is still volleyball, isn't it? Or does the competition's name count more than the quality of the play itself?

@andyz: Maybe Kurek isn't yet the russian league's shining star he supposed to be, but considering the fact that this is his first time ever he plays for a foreign club and that the injuries eliminated him for several months right at the beggining of the season... well, in this case I can imagine that his self-confidence couldn't yet fully recover, but I believe he will spread out his wings soon.
"Kurek sucks in russian league" - oh come on, it is as if I would say "Puppy sucks" ( in both ways) after seeing him in World League Final and we both know it isn't true. "Kurek isn't a fighter due to his character" (cause this is what you meant?). I always thought in order to speak about someone's character you have to know him personally otherwise it would be just worthless gossiping, wouldn't it? And tell me, Kurek wasn't fighting enough in the World League or your selective amnesia simply doesn't allow you to? My advice: do not let it control you. So who hates whom & who's not being objective enough?

@artko, i was watching kurek for several years, i know he is basically a national hero in poland)). i thought anastasi put some sense into his game, alas(((... russia - poland game in london sums it up well, i think (not talking about the loss to australia). it can be the same story as klose in german soccer (benched in club, plays well for the national team). i hope for poland sake, it is the story. (don't tell me the dynamo coach is bad, he beat trento with half of the team injured)
i think the real hero in polish team is your amazing libero, ignaczak
