Water Polo Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

The referees gave Italy another victory against us....

 

 

Spoiler

Kidding :p 

We just weren't good enough, which is obviously quite normal....I mean, it's insane there was even still a theoretical chance of us winning the group today :d

By the way, the Dutch federation seems to be pretty sure that winning against RSA tomorrow would give us 2nd place in the group. Nobody knows how these rules will work exactly :d

Slovakia's goal difference is only -9 despite losing all four games. That's respectful.

 

yes, we are really playing good. we do not play bad considering our capabilities and posibilities. I saw three of our matches (except the one with Canada), and I must say that we played really well. Our problem is low efficiency, we had many pretty clear chances in attack, but we threw away a majority of them because of lack of patience. if we were just a little more patient and more carefull in our offensive actions, I´ll say that we could have won against the Romanian and French. but it´s still the same word "if":d

But never mind, we are still yet to learn,:d we must learn to be patient and mentally to handle the last minutes of the match, we have also failed because wrong tactics at end of matches...but we learn..and one nice day it will pay, hopefully:d

Štefan (now István) Gergely after the olympics in Sydney he was invited to play for Hungary, and that was the best thing for him, he won 2 olympic titles in Athens and Beijing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/István_Gergely

It seems that both french and canadians agree with the dutch federation.

    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
