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 don't know about football (soccer), but I think this is a definite tendence:

USA is becoming a force to be reckoned with in all sports now.

"All sports" is an exaggeration, but it's close to the truth. Where they were in most team sports some decades ago? Nowhere. For example, where they were in voleyball? And where are they now in it? The world's elite. And then water-polo -- Terry Schroeder did a good job, and if the members of that team grow accustomed to each other, they might become a challenging opponent even of the Hungarian team.
