Water Polo: Easiest looking sport ever?
>> Anonymous
Is this some semi-elaborate troll? It looks fucking hard. You have to stay afloat and play handball at the same time.

Of the summer Olympic sports I've tried, water polo is by far and unquestionably the hardest. You have to tread water with your legs only for long periods of time, with sprint-swimming in between.

Or did you think they could touch the bottom?

Nah, I just think it looks easiest. It is the simplest sport I've seen. You stay in one spot and toss the ball back and forth. The moving part is rare as it's just gang rape the goal 80% of the time.

Again, I beg you to try throwing the ball around while treading water. Hell, try CATCHING the ball. It's fucking difficult.

I only know from experience because my HS gym teacher was the water polo coach and so while most American teenagers were playing kickball or dodgeball or some other BS sport we were having the shit beat out of us playing water polo.

Heads up: People are getting punched underwater. in the stomach. While trying to stay afloat with a guy that's grabbed onto you.

so it's like throwing a group of non-swimmers into a deep pool. Awesome.

Mm... No there's no punching. They're far away from each other trying to catch the ball.

Still not convinced, this looks very easy.

I've watched a couple matches and it looks exhausting as fuck. Constantly having to swim around, keep yourself afloat, and then there's a foul called every 10 seconds.

Dude, you're swimming and passing that shit in WATER. Water isn't easy to manage through with a fucking ball and people ARE pushing and elbowing to get that fucking ball.

I rather play soccer than this shit, quite honestly.

Water polo is fucking violent. It's pretty much all punching and kicking.

>a sport in which much of the artistry – the punching and the private-parts mangling and the biting – happens underwater and out of view of spectators and referees.

Pretty easy if you haven't tried treading water.

water polo is hardcore.
easiest sport? probably that horse display thingy, you just have to ride around the box hoping your horse will look cute enough for the medals.

They have cameras underwater now, but they don't show those shots much. But trust me, it's fucking hard. I played it at gym classes, too (high school gym classes at the beach FTW) and I swallowed a fuckton of water. So much fun, though. And>>246844is right. It's like swimming while someone is trying to drown you. (then you get to try to drown them).

water polo is a poor excuse for people who couldn't make a football (soccer) team but wanted to get balls into a net. same goes for handball

Water polo is like playing handball without being able to walk while in a 800 times more dense field.
Not easy at all.

Soccer and handball is for people who can't swim.

You're retarded, Badminton is the easiest looking sport ever, followed by Archery and the shooting events. They have fat Olympiads in the shooting events....
