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.

Hungary is only country of 10 million people, and isn't a rich country. Our boy only have the pride of our nation.
Thank you guys! Your wrote a happy story after the tragedy of György Kolonics.

Who don't know him:

He was a hungarian sportman in canoe. He won gold medal in C1-500m C2-500 and 2 bronze medal in C2-1000m and he was world champion 13 times. His heart stopped in this summer, he was only 36 years old. His former partner and friend György Kozmann decide to start on the race with a new partner to make a memory for him. He and the new partner Tamás Kiss won a Bronze medal surprisingly. The same medal what Kolonics and Kozzman won in Athen.
This is the history how the hungarians won Bronze medal in canoe TRIPLE 1000m men.
R.I.P. György Kolonics

Our handball team suffers through the whole olimpics. Our girls are the 4th but we saw two times how the russians and koreans trash them with a sinmple opened defense tactics.
