Bartosz Kurek interview (World League 2011 Final Eight)

He played very well in this tournament

And what will be the topic of our videos- volleyball maybe :P

You're stupid. I didn't tell anything bad about his english...

That will be funny. I think we should make it like a competition with jury. I'll call Kurek now, he'll judge who's the best english speaker. ^^

well, theoretically, the one who comes with the idea should be the first (and that would be me) :D but isn't there any brave knight to take the challenge?

AleNickel, nice idea. who first? ;)

haha, SkyloIoannes, I've got an idea: we should have a topic with videos of us on this site, so that everyone can hear our accents, not in order to humiliate someone (we don't have to care about how correct is someone's English, we aren't here to judge each other), but to have a look at the differences between our cultural background (each country has its own accent, right?). probably everyone would like to speak like a Briton, but we forget that the accent makes us special, unique from the cultural point of view

Do we speak english better than them since it's not our mother language ? I don't think so.. we'll have accent - FOREVER ! ;)

what do u think about Conte's english? better than Kurek's? ?

at least has a better accent than Pudzianowski :D

yes, we finally have 2 strong spikers, not one Anastasi did grate movie to move Bartman on opposite, now he can use both

Poland with Bartman and Kurek is a powerful team, good job by Anastazi.

Yes, I saw it now. They've downgraded Matey Kaziyski's spike to 365 cm

He has a bad English? After the match Russia - Brazil on Laola was an interview with Muserskiy. He's just bad English. I do not see a problem, players have to play and do not beatiful speak English.

I love his accent, very cute :P

I hope so. fivbheroes did it with Bartman now he's got 363cm and ealier(2 months ago) all sources claims 340 cm to spike ;)

Will it be updated in FIVB site or in fivbheroes?

raylight I've got confirmed data and it will be change soon for example on wikipedia (they allready changed his weight from 87 kg to 107 kg). Probably in the end of this week everything should be ok on polish Wikipedia. This data 352 cm and 87 kg is from 2005 (6 years before and all the time copy in stupid way).

What's the matter if his english isn't so good? His job is not to talk but to play and he does his job awesome!

He's better than most of users in this site and than of a lot of famous players.

Bartek and his english ;)

czilikd - Could you provide link?

Buziak_PL,...but it could've been worse :)Trust me I've been amazed by a lot of volleyball players poor English.It's both surprising and not .I mean even though English is generally considered to be an international language,I don't think they use it that much,you know,may be passing a player from another NT in the hall at some arena you say "Hi",after a match giving an interview for laola(I can't think of another English broadcasting channel right now)and that's it :)Think about it - the best players play in Italy,Russia or their nation's league is strong enough,so they stay at home.I bet even Ball and Priddy don't use English as much as they'd like :) About Kurek,he's definitely the future of the polish NT,I wish him luck! P.S.I didn't know it before watching the video,but even without hearing it from him,I could have sworn he's a volleyball baby :)You can always see when someone was made/build for this sport.

Bartosz Kurek: spike: 370 cm block: 340 cm heigh: 208 cm weight: 107 kg new data from NT ;)

his English could be better ^^

Born as a volleyball player like Kaziyski;)

Smart guy.. and wonderful player! The future is in his hands!
