South Africa not withdrawing? It's a big disgrace. Greece deserves to be there. Our girls just won Euro League again with Olympiacos, all players on the roster are Greeks.

 

Sorry if this sounds rude but Australia, China, and Canada being automatically in Tokyo is also a joke. They did not have to swim one metre to earn their spots. Pure luck based on what continents they are from. We always beat them too (especially China and Canada), so I don't want to hear it from any of them. You guys know we are better than you too, so don't even try to say otherwise. These teams don't have chances to win a medal. We do. :facepalm:

Can you please link the results where Greece beat Canada/China in this Olympic cycle? Thank you.

EDIT: I already regret posting this, but what can I do now    Interest in hosting the games has diminished terribly, but interest in the games themselves is fine. People love the Olympics, they

For a flagship event eights is doing horrible. I mean look at the boat list at the 2019 World Championships. I can't name an Olympic event with such low participation at the World Championship level.

2019 World Championships we beat China 12-8 in the playoffs.

 

Also 2017 World Championships we beat Australia twice (11-8 in group stage and 8-6 in 7th place match). I know you didn't ask for that but I should've included them too.

 

We have not played against Canada in this Olympic cycle as far as I know (not sure if there have been friendlies), but we beat Canada 11-4 in the 2016 Olympic Qualifying Tournament and 8-5 at the 2015 World Championships. I believe those were the last two meetings between our nations in women's water polo.

 

Canada also qualified by finishing second at the Pan American Games, where they lost 24-4 in the final...

According to this, there is still a chance that South Africa's women will withdraw and Greece will take their spot. The FINA president informed Greece about it during the World League super final which was just held in Athens. 

 

So now the Greek girls are still training (in a combined training camp with Canada). We even got two girls who didn't compete in the World League to come back to the team for this training camp.

Or maybe not? We will know very soon either way.

Would have been really nice for FINA and the South African Olympic committee to not put the Greek team through an emotional rollercoaster.

Honestly, I would not be surprised if the FINA president 'suggestion' was based on nothing else but South African previous tendency of declining water polo teams (which is meaningless here and now). That's pretty much how low my opinion of the FINA the federation is.

God the South African women’s Rugby 7 team must be *livid*. They are at a much higher level than either South African Water Polo teams.

Damn, too bad. I really don't see how it helps the sport to have South Africa there when they will lose every game by +20 goals.

 

Hopefully our girls will finally make it back to the Olympics in 2024. If you told me in 2011 after we won the World Championships that we wouldn't make it to London, Rio, or Tokyo, I would've laughed at you...

Wait, what happened there? South Africa accepted both water polo quotas, but refused a rugby one? :yikes:

      In last year, we were were happy with Brignone's wins, and today we're excite that della Mea is in the top 10... It's hard to imagine a bigger fall... And Goggia should give up on the giant slalom and focus on the speed events – Vonn isn't wasting time on the giant slalom, but is training for downhill and SG. Goggia last one finished on the podium in the giant slalom in march 2018, and she has no any chance of winning an Olympic medal at the regular competition. It's a waste of time and energy to finish 8th or 9th and risk injury. And we have to accept that without Brignone, we have no chance of winning a medal in the giant slalom in Cortina, and that's it.

      Some surprises and fun results so far at this year's Worlds. Like a few minutes ago, when  Harrysson made the 1/8 with another very good performance. Now he plays Jonny Clayton, who this afternoon made a stellar performance in a tough battle with Zonneveld. I don't see an easy match for Clayton, even though on paper he would have wished such an opponent for a 1/8 before the tournament.   Also i'm delighted that my fav Gary Anderson seems to be in good form, though at his age, he is prone to sudden bad matches at any time.
