Hungary writes waterpolo history Options

[Baronius]

After Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004), Hungary wins the water polo gold medal in Beijing as well (and remains the most successful country in the history of water polo). So far, only the UK managed to get more than two gold medals in a row in water polo (at the beginning of the 20th century).

You were FANTASTIC, guys! Thank you for the great match! Thank you for helping to keep Hungary in the top 10 of the most successful countries of the modern Olympic Games! Thank you for setting an example for the young! Also, a giant amount of credit goes to Dénes Kemény, the coach/manager of the Hungarian team. Excellent work, Dénes!

The final (Hungary vs. USA) was really exciting. The United States proved to be a powerful and challenging opponent. It was a great final.

Congratulation to the Hungarian team for the gold medal! They were really fantastic and it was well deserved! The USA team was also great but fortunately our team was better.

My favorite match is still the Athen final in 2004 where we were able to beat the Serbian team by one goal (8-7) and earned the gold medal. Couple of minutes before the end the result was 5-7 but we were able to come back (sore 3 goals in a row) and beat them. Because of that match I lost 2-3 years from my lifespan!
