Women's Water Polo LEN European Championship 2022


Recommended Posts

Historic win against Germany. Excellent chance to make the quarterfinals and then fight for 6th or 7th place. :cheer:

 

Even the loss against the Netherlands was not that bad (6:22).

Btw, how many qualify for the World Championships out of here? FINA is not very known for their transparent qualification systems, but I'm guessing Top 6 is likely enough. :d

 

It will be a challenge, but who knows, it is possible. It will all come down to that certain 5th-8th place playoff match.

Oh, boy, it's not looking good for us. I sure was right when I said that this Hungarian team won't be strong this time. I hope that at the very least we will get the 3rd place in our group.

Wow :NED 13 - 4 :HUN is a surprising result to read in waterpolo. I believe we've got some young talented girls with Simone van der Kraats (21) and Lola Moolhuijzen (17).

 

PS why is it that strong waterpolo countries on the men's side are barely present on the women's side, like :SRB:CRO:MNE ?

because of cultural issues...

 

in the former Jugoslavija they always said that waterpolo isn't a woman's game (too physical and tough, according to them) and they never really tried to develop the woman's game...

 

even the greatest coach ever, Ratko Rudic, used to say that women shouldn't play waterpolo...:facepalm:

Hm, i don't think so......women's wp just started with competitions in mid 80s but became Olympic sport just in 2000.......we competed in one Ec in 90s but there were always 3-4 clubs in the biggest cities.....just in latest years women's wp started with more serious work (also Ec had only 8 teams, it was not easy to catch up with the best)

It was: the last world league Top 2 (what are they going to do with it this year? I don't know) qualify, then 4 from this year's wch, then 3 more from the ECh

 

So a top 6 here is surely enough given that at least HUN, NED, ITA are qualified, but a 7th place should be enough too.

And it just got worse for us. :ITA beat :ESP which means that we will most likely play against Spain in the QFs. And we NEVER beat Spain in women's water polo. It's going to be a 5th place for us at these Euros, at best. 

 

If everything goes as expected, the semi-finals will be...

 

:NED v :ESP 

:GRE v :ITA 

 

(I assume that the Dutch will beat Greece this time in our group.)

 

Honestly, at this point it might be better for us to lose against Croatia, just so we can play against Italy in the QF instead of Spain.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
