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.

I agree with all of the above, great team you Hungarians have for waterpolo. I always wonder how come you're so good at it. Our (Croatian) team was a big dissapointment (funny thing about them, 90% of players in our team come from Dubrovnik city, which has only about 40 000 people).Our Handball team was also awful. Our girls did kick ass in tae-kwon-do, but we had rather poor olympics.
The final match (Hungary vs USA) was exellent. USA is becoming a force to be reckoned with in all sports now. They'll probably do wonders in soccer soon.

They'll probably do wonders in soccer soon.

I doubt it. I do not think they can make wonders in the next 10-15 years. The reason is that not enough people is playing football and talented kids usually choose american football or basketball because they are more popular sports. They will be good in football but not soon.
