Russia captured the 2011 FIVB Mens World Cup title and beat Poland in five sets (25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 17-25, 17-15) on the final day of fourth-round action at Yoyogi National Gym on Sunday. The Russians scored eight of the final nine points in the fifth set to notch the victory. By virtue of the scoring rules in place for the tournament, Russia only needed to win two sets to capture the championship. The match turned late in the second set when Poland star Zbigniew Bartman suffered a leg injury. He scored 11 points before getting hurt. Russia ended the World Cup with an impressive 10-1 record, while Poland finished 9-2. Denis Biryukov led Russia with 13 points; Dmitriy Muserskiy added 12 and was named the most impressive player of the match. Russia coach Vladimir Alekno commented after the match: “My congratulations to Poland for their qualification for the Olympics. They got what they came here for. I am the happiest person on Earth today because it is my 45th birthday. I have to thank my team for the efforts in this tournament. Poland coach Andrea Anastasi added: “We have played an incredible tournament. With only six months of work we have finished second in the World Cup. We had to play good to reach this position, but we must do more to reach the top level. We still must work harder in the future.
