Men's Water Polo LEN European Championship 2020


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

The only Slovak more or less high class water polo player Lukáš Ďurík the CN Barcelona field player has apparently received an offer for Spanish citizenship from the :ESP federation and he wants to use it. This is what he said to our NT coach.

 

 

So he will not play in the upcoming ECH qualification tournament in SVK this weekend against :FRA:UKR and :BLR . Pitty, gonna be a huge miss for us, but we still should at least qualify, since the top 2 teams from this group will qualify to the EURO.

Wait, how does the qualification even work? There's no article about the 2020 European Championship on Wikipedia, but when I checked the qualification for previous editions it looks like teams could  lose all matches in Qualifying Round 1 and take the last place in their group, but still be qualified for Qualifying Round 2 :wacko: What? :mumble:

I just read about this and it is a shame that waterpolo's NTs act like clubs. With respect to Rio we have lost Guillermo Molina and Chalo Echenique (now they play with Italy), but I don't get the point of our federation "buying" a player for other country...

:SVK - :FRA  9-6 :thumbup:  Qualified from 1st place, meaning, according to our medias, better draw chances than last times

Didn’t really workout from the looks of the draw...

    • I’ve been busy actually watching it but I was just coming to post this tweet.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
