Men's Water Polo Tournament at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

:GRE TEAM GREECE :GRE

 

Emmanouil Zerdevas (GK)

Konstantinos Genidounias

Dimitrios Skoumpakis

Marios Kapotsis

Ioannis Fountoulis (Captain)

Alexandros Papanastasiou

Georgios Dervisis

Stylianos Argyropoulos 

Konstantinos Mourikis

Christodoulos Kolomvos

Konstantinos Gkiouvetsis

Angelos Vlachopoulos

Konstantinos Galanidis (GK)

 

Pretty good mix of youth and experience. 6 of these 13 players were in Rio, and only 2 were in London. Sad to see Alexandros Gounas not there, though it was expected because he was dropped from the national team in February and hasn't been called up since. Relieved to see Vlachopoulos back. He is arguably our best player (along with Fountoulis) and he wasn't at the recent World League finals, but I guess he was just injured or something because he was training with the team and playing in friendlies just a few weeks ago.

 

Also I wish Dimitrios Nikolaidis got picked. For some reason he doesn't seem to be liked by our coach and often doesn't get called up, however he is very young so he will have more chances in the future.

Hungary - Croatia 11-13

Hungary - Spain 11-11

Don't know the squads of the other participants , I know that Hungary played mostly but not exclusively with the Olympics squad.

Judging from these results, it's advantage Croatia v. these teams at least...

Marios Kapotsis

 

I'm glad to see Marios in the roster; he did a great job in Romania when playing for Steaua. I wish him all the best and hope one day he'll come back

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

He left? I thought he was still at Steaua.

 

I'm also happy he's there because this might be his only chance for the Olympics. He's already 29 and we have a lot of young players coming up who won several tournaments already (2017 and 2019 World Junior Championships and 2018 European U19 Championships).

He left last year because our retarded management decided to build up a team only with domestic players. Needless to say what happened in CL qualifications...

It says here that he plays for them. I think this is updated because some of these players like Fountoulis and Kolomvos just moved to Olympiacos, and Vlachopoulos was playing for AN Brescia in Italy and now it says he plays in Serbia, also Argyropoulos was playing for Olympiacos and now it says he's playing for Jug, so I guess these are the clubs people will play for next season and it has Kapotsis at Steaua!

I have him as friend on Facebook and there it says he plays for Vouliagmeni

 

The wiki page lists the roster from 2020 World League

    • Honestly, it’s not very clear what is happening in Italy — anything could happen. There is extremely high turnout, and no pollster, politician, or newspaper had predicted it; now they’re all there throwing out data. No one has any idea why people voted, also because it was very technical and almost empty polling stations were expected. It will be interesting to understand whether this is a protest vote against the government or a protest vote against the judiciary.

    • 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
