Olympic Games, Greece-Romania 14-7: Men’s National Water Polo Team Starts with a Victory – See pics

The opening match of the Olympic Games proved to be a strong training session for the Tokyo silver medalists

Newsroom July 29 12:43

Thodoris Vlachos’s team did not face the unexpected events that occurred after the morning practice. Except for a period at the end of the second quarter when the Romanians closed the gap to three goals, the team was never seriously threatened by its opponent.

From the very start, our representative team took the lead with 4-1 and 7-2. Although the Romanians managed to reduce the score to 9-6 at the beginning of the third quarter, in the remaining minutes, with a 5-1 run, we reached the impressive final score of 14-7.
