IAm I the only one who is watching Water Polo for the first time and thinking it's one of the most brutal sports ever? It doesn't seem so at first appearance, but it gives me anxiety just thinking about those guys treading water and swimming nonstop for that long and that actively, plus all the below-the-water blows/grabs/whatever... and nothing but a silly headpiece on and a speedo.
It is a very exhausting and demanding sport. Is this really the first time you've seen water polo? I always saw it as a popular olympic sport.
The game that has me enthralled is team handball, a terra firma version of water polo. I was excited to see this as I thought I invented this game in my backyard when I was 9 with Nicky Ross and Johnny Dunda. We used an old tennis ball and opened the door to a neighbor's shed to serve as the goal..
