Antaeus7 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) I would love to start a new topic about the Greek national water polo team and it's upcoming FINA competitions. After what Greece did in the Tokyo Olympic games, I am starting to get involved in this sport more often.

Blackhawk Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Our water polo team always had a presence in the Olympics. Our only team sport that would represent us in the Olympics on regular basis all these years. No other national team can claim that. We do have very competitive teams both in men and women, and I see success for both teams in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
