Origin
and identity

Bartosz Kurek developed from a wing attacker into the opposite who led Poland's 2018 world-title defence.

His scoring in the 2018 championship earned the MVP award as Poland retained the trophy. He later took on the national captaincy and continued to shoulder difficult attacking responsibilities.

The career includes Nations League recognition and Olympic silver in Paris. Those chapters belong to different Polish teams, linked by his imposing presence on the right side.
