Water Polo Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

No possibility to face Serbia in the quarter-finals. This is important.
Our women's team is in the hope that China be first in the other group, to dream of a semifinal

Few thoughts.  Not only womens side is the same as london.  The groups are also the same.   Hopefully the outcome for usa will also be the same.    For the men only two new teams with japan instead of kazakhstan and france instead of Romania.   Usa got a tough one with five european teams.  So i don't think we will be making it out of the group

By the way, for those who actually know about it: is Serbia really such a huge gold medal favorite as the bookmakers say they are? I mean, they're giving them a 70+% chance to win the gold and you can get 3.6 times your money when they don't win the gold..

Well,we are favorite,it is true.But I think this is too much. We can play match against Montengro in 1/4 and we can be out. Montenegro is right now our hardest and most difficult opponent because we have the same water polo school. Most of the players played together before 2008.

I can;t wait to see Soro against Serbia. Still my favorite GK and I think he is one of the best in the world.  Imo Brazil can fight for 2-3 place. But 4 is secured. Australia is not that good.

Thanks, so first Yugoslavia splits into a dozen water polo top nations and then one of those nations splits into two more water polo top nations :d

Well, that wouldn't be a real satisfaction, sadly.

    • She is   she can calculate many things in few seconds  
    • There is an interview where Foy goes into more details, and I find it particularely heartbreaking because her reasons for not coming forward at the time (concerns about professional retaliation and concerns about the effect it would have on Sørensen and his family) remind me a lot of why someone I know who got sexually assaulted (and had bulletproof evidence of it) didn't report it to the police.
    • The person who alleges to have been sexually assaulted by  Nikolaj Sørensen has come forward publicly.   https://x.com/cbrennansports/status/2049870813239611595?s=20    
    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates
