Olympic Waterpolo

Olympic water polo is on TV. I think part of Croatia's uniform is the mustache. Even the coach has one! I wonder why the players have to wear the bonnets with the ear guards. Rugby is a rougher sport and they don't wear helmets or bonnets. I find it extremely distracting. I can't enjoy the beauty of the sport because of them.

Also why do they wear little swim suits? Why not the long swim suits the swimmer are wearing?

The cool thing is that these guys basically have normal bodies. Not hyper cut like the other athletes. You can tell they enjoy a beer or five. Although the announcer just said that water polo players have the best bodies based on the fact that a sculptor chose Terry Schroeder for a generic Oly statue for the 1984 games. That WAS 1984 though.

How does a guy decide that water polo is the sport for him? Growing up on the east coast we never played it. I certainly have not noticed it in Texas. NBC.com even has a link to water polo plays of the day.


Oops USA just upset Croatia. Guess the mustaches did not help.
