I think this is nice start for Slovkia. Your team will play 2x against Serbia and that can be very good for them. They can fight for second place at the end. Romania is not so strong

 

we are with Serbia in the same group ? well, it promises a lot of goals

 

hm..who know, I always thought that we are not so extremely bad in this sport and that in some perfect day we have capacity to reach something (meaning at least beat once a stronger opponent or so...), but somehow we never managed to achieve anything mentionable (if we not count the qualification for Sydney 2000, even if we did lost all matches there, I´m still considering it as our biggest success in water polo)

but surprisingly Iran managed to bring China into the penalties , even though they lost the bronze medal !

still it was a big surprise since 2002 we never were close to big 3 of Asian water polo. even though they lost big time to Japan and Kazakhstan. there is still a big gap.

 

In the women's side, China won the gold as usual, Japan 2nd, Kazakhstan 3rd.

I was today on match Serbia against Team World. And it was really great.

 

moment of the match was this (Im not sure that this allowed in official match ):

 

 

 

It is really sad that Nikic and Gocic retired from NT. They are truly champions
