Water Polo 2022 - 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Now it's the Men's Youth World Championships. Unfortunately our boys lost 9-8 to Spain today in the quarterfinals. The referees were tragic I must say...

 

The big surprise is that :NED won 12-7 against :MNE to make the semifinals :yikes:

I always wondered why the Dutch men were not a top team in water polo while their women are, maybe this new generation is really good though?! We beat them only 12-11 in the group stage. I was surprised it was so close but I guess the Dutch really are good :yes

Well, I was wondering that too. I asked a friend from the waterpolo community in the Netherlands and he told me it's way too early to say there is a really good new generation. But he also said there are more talents than in average years. So we have to wait. but there is a little hope for Dutch men's waterpolo :-).

We tend to have better national teams on the womens side than the mens side in most team sports: waterpolo, volleyball, handball and field hockey. I guess one factor is also in the general sense a larger share of the boys athletic talent is concentrated in football.

Sven Kramer and Naomi van As (former field hockey star) recently had their second kid, so it's a matter of time for our Ice Hockey teams!

 

But we're getting really offtopic here:zip:

I hope our waterpolo U19 boys will have a good development!

Those World Championships were probably first ever (in any age level) where :POL take part and even we win several matches and finished on 17th place out of 25 teams! Not that bad result!

  • 4 weeks later...

We beat Croatia 8-7 to make the semifinals of the Men's U19 European Championships. We will now play Spain.

 

After 12 medals from our national teams, but none of them gold, in the last two years, maybe this time we will finally win gold? Lucky number 13?!

    • Don't know if other nations' media have picked this up, but here in  the aerodynamics of ski jumping are a question.of fascination.  Or one particular aspect of it.   The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.   In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo
