Croatia defeat Italy 8-6 to win the gold medal in men's water polo event at the Water Polo Arena as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (12 August).
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 watching this live and crying so much(I'm Croatian)...the whole tournament was perfect for us and all I can remember after is singing the anthem in tears...amazing times
Congratulations Croatia!
Much love from the USA.
I wish this sport was more popular in America...
It's pretty popular in California and Southern California. It's almost as popular as soccer or maybe football
Dmoody8486
+Dmoody8486 Yes, I would say that it is much more popular at least for high school than soccer, and at my school it is more popular than baseball.
It is in callifornia but there is olny one in nevada team vegas :)
i live in socal and its really popular here
best sport
I'm more of a hockey fan
Jeez. When Croatias goalie took it right to the face .. That's crazy . As a goalkeeper it's happened but never at Olympic shooting speed. What a beast
Late, but I play whole and I’ve seen a goalie get smacked in the face by a super hard shot from me during practise and just felt bad
Just started following this sport over the last 2 Olympics. I never realized how rough a sport this is. Water polo athletes can get pretty banged up during a meet.
waterpolo is far most the hardest sport you will ever play. The coaches dump you in the water for an hour straight and you cant touch the bottom or else you will get banned for the next 2 games. People will punch you in the face and the refs literally dont care. They put ur hand on your shoulder and try to drown you. You have to swim all the time without stopping, and all while trying to catch a ban with only one hand. Its so mentally intense the players often have panic attacks. But otherwise its an awesome sport and im 13 and i play with the 15 year olds. They arent afraid to grab your bathing suit and rip it down to ur waist. Its not unfair, its just the game
Lauren twistedpeppermint it sounds stressful and the players sound like jerks
I play in the position of Goalie and it's cool an hard because im the on ly goalkeeper in my team so i have to stay all rhe game
U didn’t even talk about practice intensity
Hey, I play it too. I’m in the under 14s in my team
They squeeze each other balls, 70 % of players get blue, real teaser my girlfriend used to get me blue 😋😋🧯👍
gave this sport a try, now I can't live without it
Bravo svjetski prvaci! Budapest 2017. 🌏🏅🏆♥ 😀
Water Polo is the best sport out there.
+Jesus Lopez Damn straight.
not much of a fan actually
I think Water Polo and Rugby are the best sports. You have to be extremely fit and tough for both of them!
Janlouis Jordaan Fit? I’m twelve and swim with better form than theses guys
Thoth Well then, go and swim in next the Olympics Michael Phelps.
U deserved this gold medal! greetings from Hungary
2024 ,Croatia world champion.
CROÁCIA 🇭🇷👉🏾🥇
SERBIA OG🥇🤽😂💪🇷🇸
Why do they announce the winner in the title? Ruins all the excitement!
I'm not really sure
@rsiffredi hi
Josip Pavic is the best goalkeeper ever!! GO HRVATSKA!!
such a crazy sport
Croatia is the best in water polo!!!
SERBIA 🇷🇸💪
Holy crap treading water and playing for a hour. Damn good endurance
You just eggbeater then it Isent so hard . But my coach makes us do that but with our hands up for a wormumups :(
Treading water to them is a break
+DiamondxSwagger4 Yes, I am a water polo player myself and Treading Water (EggBeater) Is a break for us.
If you tread well then it's not resting at all. The harder exercise we were doing was treading sessions of 1 mins at highest high....
the game starts at 9:22
Bless your soul. Thank you.
Little late but thank you
thank you to all the players and staff people who make this sport what it is still to this day❤

one of those sports that seem boring to watch but fun to play
+Franklin Idk how it's boring to watch, but playing it is indeed a lot more fun.
+Dandan Hehe :D
You're spot on. This is the issue with Waterpolo. A beautiful sport to play but too boring to attract fans.
Franklin haha water polo is by far the most fun sport to watch
Franklin I didn't even know what water polo was until today lmfao
One of the most highly difficult sports out there
That was a really good last-second goal by Italy!
HRVATSKAAA!!! :D
I have always loved water polo. Great mix of many sports. I wish it was more common where I am from to watch and play.
Guess one of the many requirements to play water polo is to be HOT AF
HRVATSKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so
blitz ball is like
super intense water polo
we need gills!
😊To je jedna od najlepših igara na planeti Zemlji 🌏
I sure hope to be in Croatias position some day, playing for the US. -Starting Freshman for JV at Rockford High School, Rockford, MI
Adam K so how’s that dream going
@@oliviamaxson5222 we just beat 17-7 USA on world championship 2019
The water Polo is better than football
No.
No sport is better than Football.
Plenty are
It's preference
+Mohammed Ali soccer us more popular worldwidd
Haha water polo. Looks fun.
It is very fun
i just started playing water polo and im also a competitive swimmer so im really fast but i gotta work on passing. water polo is so fun
Water polo would be far more interesting if the players rode horses in the pool. The horses would wear scuba masks so they could still breath. Make it happen Obama. #YesWeCan
Tapir Jesus Seahorses...
Tapir Jesus that is the best idea to add to a sport since FIFA finally let some leagues have goal line technology !
wow what a game
Gosh I love this game
bravo braco😀!!!
Water polo is life
iznad svih
Why can't Water Polo be more popular in the UK
you idiot, try playing this sport, you'll be exhausted after one minute. moron.
@@plonkerification
Govnojed sorry I meant slavojed
spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Za Dom Spremni🔥🇭🇷❤️
Ex Yugoslavia... Croatia ,Serbia are the best at this sport!! Italy is second to them...
yes, the "war" was just a trick, so that they can win gold AND silver in rio….but "gold" medal is made of silver anyway….98.8% silver, 1.2% gold…..
Luis Meloni wh
Luis Meloni I
Luis Meloni How do you find this to be a good sport?
thats cuz if it were made from actual gold entirely it would be too heavy, But yay! Cro won
This is amazing game, it looks like playing volleyball in the pool.
LoveMe,com volleyball?!
Love me I'm coming right at this moment, I mean I'm almost there
i play for my high school it is one of the hardest sports you can play
This and rugby....unfortunately my team croatia is not close to world class rugby league but we are great in waterpollo football handball,we have great solo players all around and have great basketball players but we did nothing with that since 2008
Water polo wissum and secret coaching tips of the future, please welcome all championship performance supporters.
Best sport ever. Had a tournament this weekend, lost to De La Sal, why do they win at everything???
Oh my god, Tempesti is easily the best goalie in the world
Pavić is doctor for him
Tempesti obviously wasn't good enough 💥💥😂
This's the first time I've watched this kind of watersport
Sounds like the "Player select" theme from Mortal Kombat 3 in the background.
a great match
How is it that I can watch water polo and not triathlon on my phone?
Go hrvatska
must get lots of views when you have the result in the title - great idea !
some fine specimens
•• Assistindo agora mesmo Os Jogos Olímpicos de Londres 2012..
- 03 / 8 / 2024 •• 21h24mins.
i feel tired just by looking at it... this requires alot of stamina and endurance...
yes I know, when I played, our center taught this
wonderful
so the real question is: how to tread water for two hours?!
the game lasts 40 minutes
Don't think so. At least an hour. Time stops at every foul. So the nominal 4x8 minutes become more than an hour.
Ermes Aprile yes i know but i mean that 4x8 minutes, whats actually playing. Then its 32 minutes , not 40 lol fail.
i swim 2 hours each time i jump into the water, since i've bought swimp3 player.
egg beater
Where are the horses?
Some bad decisions by the referees against Italy, but Croatia was the better team!
croatian scuba divers are the best..
amazing!
Maro Jokovic
how do you get the horses in the water?
We are good
Water Polo
The best final with some absents like Hungary,Sjirbia,MNE and of course GGRREECCEE.....
I had a water polo game today and we lost fourth place
The king of Waterpolo is Serbia!Serbia is the current champion of the champion of Europe and the world!
Servia is also the best at SREBRENICA type of crafty game just Google it
ooh nice comeback
I think woman enjoy watching this
What's the name of that song in the background?
Alejandro Gomez In the start it is a song by 'Fatboy Slim', called "Right here, Right now"
Drev TV Okay thanks.
How are they marking the lines? Is it some kind of laser?
Eduardo Gonik
Yeah, they have lights on the side. You can see them.
Why does the commentator keep pointing out that a member from team croatia is left handed? Is it something favourable in water polo?
being ambidextrous out of anything would be favorable, it's just that there's a lot more right handers than left
Dylan Bailey yes, you are right. I was thinking that maybe when he scores, the goal keeper would be expecting something else, so he would have got them by surprise or something.
If you are left handed you have a pretty major advantage because on offense you can work the right side of the pool better; your shooting hand is lined up with the goal.
oh, i see, it all makes sense now. thanks for the answer!
buen deporte para practicar en el meta
And some of the referee calls are also misinterpreted by the commentator.
Ergin can you rename the video and description ... it is a bit of a spoiler
sweet baby jesus, their hands are so big
love the vid
ITALIA !!!!!
so much better than football
Dai Italia non mollare
The Croations are awesome at high fiving, and the Italians are just lame at it, no wonder Croatia won.
HRVASTSKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

5:43 number 12 yikes lol
Rip 3pac!!!
