Definitely, although this many teams is just stupid. There's 8-10 teams who can actually fight and so 10 teams would be good for the Olympics. 16 teams is a little too much.

If your 14th best team (last world championship ranking) is losing 17-2 against anyone, your sport has no business beeing an olympic sport. Period. Women's water polo is only there because of "gender equity" policy, not because of sports. Besides, lack of compettive teams is one thing, lack of public nterest and pathetic low playing numbers even from competitive countries is another thing.

dcro 10,172 Posted July 18, 2017 #37 Share Posted July 18, 2017 However, women's water polo has seen 10 different nations on World Championships podium between 2009 and 2015. Unthinkable in men's game... Men's game has had 9 different nations on podium throughout the whole WCh history (1973-2015). heywoodu and intoronto 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, lack of compettive teams is one thing, lack of public nterest and pathetic low playing numbers even from competitive countries is another thing. Last world championship ranking is not exactly a good thing to look at, since there you had the same problem with non-competitive teams competing. The main point: for a 8-10 team tournament it's perfectly justified to have women's water polo there. Public interest depends entirely on the success of teams, like in almost any sport. Here nobody gives a damn about men's water polo for example. Besides, in men's water polo isn't it basically always the same few teams who dominate? That's getting a little tiring.
