Италия - первая и единственная страна, выигравшая как мужские, так и женские турниры по водному поло.

История [ править ]

История водного поло как командного вида спорта началась в Англии и Шотландии середины 19 века, где водные виды спорта были характерной чертой окружных ярмарок и фестивалей. [1] [2] Водное поло было включено на все летние Олимпийские игры как вид спорта среди мужчин , кроме 1896 года. Женское водное поло дебютировало на Летних Олимпийских играх в 2000 году.

Начало [ править ]

Водное поло среди мужчин было одним из первых командных видов спорта, представленных на современных Олимпийских играх в 1900 году. В соревнованиях приняли участие семь европейских команд из четырех стран, в том числе четыре из Франции. Британская команда стала первым чемпионом.

На летних Олимпийских играх 1904 года проводился турнир по водному поло, но в нем участвовали только американские участники. В настоящее время Международный олимпийский комитет (МОК) считает соревнования по водному поло частью неофициальной программы 1904 года.

С 1908 по 1920 год мужская национальная сборная Великобритании по водному поло выиграла три золотые медали подряд на Олимпийских играх, став первой командой по водному поло, у которой была олимпийская победная серия (выиграв три или более олимпийских титула подряд).

Доминирование Венгрии [ править ]

Мужская сборная Венгрии по водному поло участвовала в 22 из 27 олимпийских турниров, завоевав пятнадцать олимпийских медалей (девять золотых, три серебряных и три бронзовых). С 1928 по 1980 год венгры выиграли двенадцать медалей подряд по водному поло. Двадцать лет спустя команда выиграла три золота подряд в период с 2000 по 2008 год, став второй командой, у которой есть олимпийская победная серия в водном поло.

Самый известный матч по водному поло в олимпийской истории, который часто называют матчем « Кровь в воде» , был полуфинальным матчем летних Олимпийских игр 1956 года между Венгрией и Советским Союзом , который проходил в Мельбурне 6 декабря 1956 года. игр, началась венгерская революция , и Советская армия подавила восстание. Матч был кровавым и жестоким. Венгры победили Советы 4: 0, прежде чем игра была отменена на последней минуте, чтобы не дать разгневанным венграм в толпе отреагировать на советского игрока Валентина Прокопова, ударившего венгерского игрока Эрвина Задора.. Фотографии травм Задора были опубликованы по всему миру, что привело к прозвищу «Кровь в воде». [3]

Венгры выиграли олимпийскую золотую медаль, победив Югославию со счетом 2: 1 в финале.

Дополнение женской программы [ править ]

Водное поло среди женщин стало олимпийским видом спорта на Олимпийских играх 2000 года в Сиднее . Шесть стран соревновались в женском турнире с домашней командой Австралии, выигравшей золотую медаль над Соединенными Штатами .

С 2000 по 2016 год женская сборная США выиграла пять медалей подряд по водному поло.
