Glinka was one of the key players behind the success of Poland during the Women''s European Championships in Turkey last month. Poland took the European title surprisingly after defeating Turkey in the final 3-0. Glinka, who turned 25-years old two days after the European Championships, was by far the best scorer of the event.
During the same evening, Beach Volleyball players Okka Rau and Stephanie Pohl from Germany were awarded as Queens of the Beach. Austrians Niki Berger and Clemens Doppler were honored as the Kings of the Beach. Both couples surprisingly claimed the title in Alanya, Turkey at the end of August.
