Men's Water Polo Tournament at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2019


Recommended Posts

Very nice match, congrats to the Hungarian that reach to do a great match without Varga at the top.

Btw, we are in Tokyo and in final after 8 years! Let's go to win this WCh... We need some revenge against Spain.

lol what? Hungary will be in Tokyo.

 

 

 

I think Croatia will take the quota at the ECh, and then we will have to fight for the last three spots against Germany, Greece, and Montenegro. Any of those three teams can beat us at a OQT.

+ probably one more quota (Africa)

 

edit: No, there are 4 quotas at OQT. So this 4 teams + Russia will fight for that.

Oh, okay, in that case maybe we can't possibly fuck it up. But who knows, at this point anything is possible, our team sports are in a terrible shape.

Olympics without Hungary in waterpolo would be disaster.

At the end this was solid WCh fot this Serbian team. Yeah they lost only one match (most important :d, but nevermind).

 

Expected medal for Croatia. I really thought they would easily take the gold, but Spain played great.

 

Spain was the best this year and I hope that they will win gold at the end. They deserved that. They beat two best teams in the last 6 years (and I still think that they are the best :p).

Drama in a nightclub next to the whole complex in Gwangju where the World Aquatics Championships are being held: a balcony collapsed and two people died. Several others were injured, including athletes from the USA, New Zealand (water polo captain Matt Small), Italy, Brazil and the Netherlands (water polo player Maud Megens).

    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
