The only Slovak more or less high class water polo player Lukáš Ďurík the CN Barcelona field player has apparently received an offer for Spanish citizenship from the :ESP federation and he wants to use it. This is what he said to our NT coach.

 

 

So he will not play in the upcoming ECH qualification tournament in SVK this weekend against :FRA:UKR and :BLR . Pitty, gonna be a huge miss for us, but we still should at least qualify, since the top 2 teams from this group will qualify to the EURO.

Wait, how does the qualification even work? There's no article about the 2020 European Championship on Wikipedia, but when I checked the qualification for previous editions it looks like teams could  lose all matches in Qualifying Round 1 and take the last place in their group, but still be qualified for Qualifying Round 2 :wacko: What? :mumble:

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

I just read about this and it is a shame that waterpolo's NTs act like clubs. With respect to Rio we have lost Guillermo Molina and Chalo Echenique (now they play with Italy), but I don't get the point of our federation "buying" a player for other country...

Yay, we play against the Kings of All Ball Team Sports.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

:SVK - :FRA  9-6 :thumbup:  Qualified from 1st place, meaning, according to our medias, better draw chances than last times

Didn’t really workout from the looks of the draw...
