Top 8 in Europe, nothing new for a French Olympic sport team 

If they want to get some recognition they'll have to achieve more.

I remember when they qualify for Rio, the injured goalkeeper who was commentating for the TV thinking it was going to change everything for his sport...

I have no doubts that Serbian water polo will get their shit together (and probably win) when it will truly matter two years from now at the Summer Games. They were out of the Top4 at the 2019 Worlds and 2020 Euros and then they won at the Games.

Btw, the last time one of the "Top7" countries were out of the Top8 at the Euros was in 2012. @dcro might remember it,  finished 9th in 2012, they were defeated by Romania. And then a few months later they won gold in London.

That was a typical strategy for the Olympic year.

 

Not sure how encouraging it is for the middle of the cycle...

Slovensko vs Slovinsko right now in Split for the first place in the reverse order.

 

Would be nice to have at least one win in this champs

W:  6 Games = 6 L, Tourament over in last 12th place
