  1. A Greek sports journalist is doing a live feed for this match, and he said we will know by April if South Africa will compete or not (for both men's and women's), because they have a lot of economic problems and Covid problems related to water polo in their country.
  2. They got 4th place each time, maybe they can finally take a medal in Tokyo?
  3. Maybe she is half Greek. I've never heard of anyone who isn't Greek named Eleni, and Eleni is the second most popular name for Greek females. Also a lot of Greeks live in Sweden.
  4. Greek water polo league has not had any games since October. Most of our players play in this league and I think they suffer because of it, they are not used to playing so many games maybe. I don't know because also last month we did very well in World League qualifying and it was the same situation back then with no games.
  5. Somehow we escaped with a win. I can't see us winning one of the next two games with the way we are playing now. Well done to France for an incredible fight. You deserved it more than us. At least you know for sure you will be in Paris 2024.
  6. Even if we win, I can't see us beating Russia. This team always fails under pressure.
  7. First time since 1976 that our men's water polo team won't be at the Olympics. Unbelievable. We beat France 12-3 last month in World League qualifying. We also beat Spain and Montenegro. How could we get so bad a few weeks later?!
  8. I will never understand countries who do this. I'm pretty sure Sweden and the Netherlands also do it. Weird because these are rich countries with resources. The Greek athletics federation always has their own entry standards for major competition which are more strict than the general ones, but not for the Olympics. We always try to get as many people as possible to the Olympics. It is a dream for these athletes! I don't understand how these NOCs kill their athletes dreams and prevent them from going when they already achieved qualification!
  9. They have several naturalized players from other countries. A few Serbians I think and an Italian. Edit: They have two Croatians, one Serbian and one Italian on their current roster
  10. Yes, you are right. I am sorry for my mistake. Wikipedia had France playing against Montenegro but it was obviously an error because they have now deleted it.
  11. No. Listen here from 0:14-0:15 for a pronounciation.
  12. Papachristou 14.60 in Torun, new PB and WL! Very important for Greek athletics to have Tentoglou and now Papachristou both EL at the moment, especially since many of our big names like Stefanidi, Kyriakopoulou and Belibasaki will be missing the European Indoor Championships.
  13. I have no words for this. So proud to have someone like him to represent my country! Semifinals will be tough and I don't know if he will have the energy. Regardless we are very proud
  14. Of course it is possible that we lose to Montenegro, but I personally think that game could go either way. I do not think it is fair to expect that Montenegro will beat us. We usually beat them or draw with them in recent years.
  15. We beat Montenegro 12-7 last month in the World League qualification final...
  16. Big win for us today 15-8 over Brazil. Looks like yesterday's performance was just an exception. We really should make it to Tokyo.
  17. I had never heard of her until now. I just looked her up and found that her birth name was Antonella de Rahm. So she probably married a Greek (or Greek-Cypriot because Joannou sounds very Cypriot especially with that spelling). Thank you for pointing her out though.
