24. Collier: Olympic Sports To Erase The best example of hypocrisy in sport is the olympic Games, Dr. Charles Yesalis of water polo is certainly an athletic and exhausting discipline, http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05198/538803.stm

Sports Previous Articles Steelers/NFL Penguins/NHL ... Events Calendar Collier: Olympic sports to erase Sunday, July 17, 2005 By Gene Collier, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette You may have noted that baseball and softball have gotten themselves thrown out of the Olympics beginning in 2012, which is good, but the International Olympic Committee, with its customary smug restraint, stopped at only two ejections. Too bad. Here are five more "sports" that are way more erasable and should have gotten a similar defenestration: water polo, shooting, synchronized swimming, fencing and badminton. Maybe if the Olympics started lopping off seven sports at a time, we could eventually get to a place where the Olympics are close enough to killing themselves to spark a reasonable discussion about whether that would be a bad thing. Though nothing formal was forthcoming in the way of reasoning from the IOC on the baseball-softball killing, committee members said publicly that baseball in particular had a credibility problem due to steroid use. That's very close to comical.

28. History Of Water Polo By 1889, America was introduced to the sport by an English swimming water polomade its olympic debut in 1900 and has remained an olympic sport ever http://www.penangswimming.com/main/sports/sub_sport_waterpolo.html

THE SPORTS History of Swimming Water Polo Content by Andrew Oon Water Polo was adapted to swimming pools in 1870 by the London Swimming Club, and the first official game was played at the Crystal Palace Plunge in London. The game became a version of rugby on water, based more on brute strength than athletic skill. A common trick players used then was to place the small ball in their oversized swimming trunks and swim underwater towards the goal, where they would score by using both hands to place the ball on the pool's deck. By 1880, the modern version of the sport began to evolve in Scotland. Rule changes included scoring on a net 10 feet long by three feet high (roughly three-metres by one-metre), and using a leather ball similar to the size of a soccer ball. Players could only be tackled when holding the ball and could only touch the ball with one hand - rules that still apply today. The Scottish rules were adopted throughout Great Britain, and then the game spread beyond the island. Nations like Hungary, Belgium, Austria, Germany and France, began playing the sport by the late 1800s. By 1889, America was introduced to the sport by an English swimming instructor, John Robinson. Water polo made its Olympic debut in 1900 and has remained an Olympic sport ever since. Great Britain won gold at four of the first five Games. The only hiccup was in 1904, when the US won. The Americans also won silver and bronze because they were the only country to enter teams. Other nations refused to play with the soft, under-inflated ball that was common in American competition.

Other Sports Hungary beats U.S. for water polo gold Americans' great run ends under guidance of rookie coach Moody MONTREAL - Maybe Heather Moody can keep her job. The rookie coach guided the United States to the championship game in women's water polo Friday, and they lost to Hungary 10-7 in two overtimes. "We have a silver medal, we're a young team and the future is very bright for us," U.S. captain Brenda Villa said. Whether that future includes Moody, a two-time Olympian, has yet to be decided. Guy Baker left the women's team in January to coach the U.S. men's team, then his replacement, Bill Barnett, left after three months because of a contract dispute. Baker, also the director of U.S. water polo, selected Moody to take over. "She did a great job and she proved to everyone that didn't believe in her or us," Villa said. The current U.S. team is a mix of veterans who won medals in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics and college-aged newcomers with little or no international experience. "Even though we're young, we have a great pipeline in the United States," Moody said.
