Water Polo Women's Preliminary Round - Group A - China United States Full Replay from the Water Polo Arena at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 3 August 2012
Water polo made its Olympic debut at the Paris Games in 1900. It was not included in 1904 but would be present at each subsequent edition of the Olympic Games.
In the early days, the players rode on floating barrels that resembled mock horses, and swung at the ball with mallet-like sticks. This made it similar to equestrian polo, hence its name.

I remember playing this as a kid in elementary school swim class. It's more intense then it looks to people who haven't tried it.

[@bobbyyates8952]

This is odd, the audio of the actual event is ahead of the video by about 8 seconds, yet the commentary is in sync with the video.

[@goranaskugor7719]

I'm goalkepper too

[@Crepperman27]

Finally a sport where you can strut your stuff in your warm up gear every day. Yes that's my olympic bathrobe every morning it's got to feel good to walk around in olympic pajamas 💃

The China's goalie is an amazing goalie. Look at how many she blocked!! I am in awe... That is literally my goalie dream. This year I started out as goalie and I am getting better but I am still not good enough. I want to be strong for my team while my team is strong for me. I am happy that they trust me enough to be goalie. This water polo game was truly amazing. I want to be like both goalies. Blocking without hesitation and egg beating that high. If you have water polo connections or you are not sure if you want to play yet, or you are experiencing the same things as me, then comment down below. :)

[@rainbow_mage5760]

America's goalie is also really good. I want to be a bit of both. Good at blocking and egg beating high to reach high corners. *sigh* I hope one day I will be that good.

[@tofu8688]

Wolf_on_Blue Moon as a goalie , you are the most important person on the team, you have to communicate with your team, that alone makes you the most valued player, and make sure to call the shot clock

[@rainbow_mage5760]

Tensa Zangetsu Thank you :D :) I will make sure to communicate well with my team and to look at the clock regularly. Have a good day/night! :D

Don’t worry wolf if u try hard enough u will succeed

[@horaciovazquez2984]

Las yankis ganaron no porque sean mejores sino por los graves errores de la defensa china . China deberá cambiar urgentemente al técnico , ese gordo histérico que trata mal a las jugadoras y demuestra no saber nada de water polo . El técnico yanki se tuvo que aguantar que el grosero técnico chino le pasara la mano por la cara . Cuidado con la gorda Seidemann : no te le pongas adelante porque te arranca la cabeza .

[@harleebates2873]

Wish I could go there someday 🙌

[@Michal10]

I would like to see the men's and women's finals in full, including the bronze medal matches.

[@eleanortran6642]

[@d.5688]

Yung Lean you're so easy...

[@d.5688]

Eleanor Tran what do you do when you have your period and you need to play?

[@ashleycarhee8141]

its called a tampon

[@Reptileman110]

I wonder if you'd burn more calories playing water polo than competitive swimming...

[@iSk3ch]

I would think so

[@ginaakoudad2691]

Yes you do

[@cleocrummer9646]

Its around the same cause my sister does both>

[@angelesportillameraz2825]

Is the water warm????? I would’ve freezer to death if it is cold water

[@itzjules3871]

Betty Kim it's not warm, but not freezing either

[@emmyyang4339]

Usually pretty chilly, so that when the athletes start sweating and moving they don’t feel weighed down and drowsy.

[@user-fi5fd2ky6e]

[@NoName-io7wb]

Sad to see that girls waterpolo is still awful outside of college.
