Water Polo Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

[LDOG 2,468]

There is no country that will participate in all 7 team sports (or 8 if you consider beach volleyball another team sport). Mostly because USA, China, Japan and Australia all happen to suck at handball   

 

PS: Except for host Brazil, obviously.

Today after the gold final  

[phelps 8,285]

and those are the pots for the draws (both men and women)...

 

http://www.fina.org/content/rio-2016-water-polo-teams-groups?platform=hootsuite

 

basically, the only unbalanced pot in the men's draw will be the 6th, with Brazil and Spain (or the 4th with Japan and Spain, if the Spaniards should lose the Bronze medal game against France today)...

 

and we already know also that we won't have "historical" pairings like Italy vs Hungary nor Serba vs Croatia in the preliminary rounds (but in any case we will have other very interesting match-ups like SRB-HUN or SRB-ITA and CRO against ITA or HUN as well)...

I hope we will be in group with Montenegro, Italy and Australia.
