Historia
La historia del waterpolo como deporte de equipo comenzó a mediados del siglo XIX en Inglaterra y Escocia, donde los deportes acuáticos eran una característica de las ferias y festivales del condado. [1] [2] El waterpolo se ha incluido en todos los Juegos Olímpicos de verano como deporte de competición masculino , excepto en 1896. El waterpolo femenino hizo su debut en los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 2000.
Principios
El waterpolo masculino fue uno de los primeros deportes de equipo presentados en los Juegos Olímpicos modernos en 1900. Siete equipos europeos de cuatro países, incluidos cuatro de la nación anfitriona, Francia, participaron en la competencia. El equipo británico fue el campeón inaugural.
En los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1904, se disputó un torneo de waterpolo, pero solo participaron concursantes estadounidenses. Actualmente, el Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI) considera el evento de waterpolo como parte de un programa no oficial en 1904.
De 1908 a 1920, el equipo nacional masculino de waterpolo de Gran Bretaña ganó tres medallas de oro consecutivas en los Juegos Olímpicos, convirtiéndose en el primer equipo de waterpolo en tener una racha de victorias olímpicas (ganando tres o más títulos olímpicos seguidos).
Dominio de Hungría
El equipo nacional masculino de waterpolo de Hungría ha participado en 22 de los 27 torneos olímpicos, con quince medallas olímpicas (nueve de oro, tres de plata y tres de bronce). De 1928 a 1980, los húngaros ganaron doce medallas consecutivas en waterpolo. Veinte años después, el equipo ganó tres oros seguidos entre 2000 y 2008, convirtiéndose en el segundo equipo en tener una racha de victorias olímpicas en waterpolo.
Partido de sangre en el agua
El partido de waterpolo más famoso de la historia olímpica al que a menudo se hace referencia como el partido de Sangre en el agua , fue un partido de semifinales de los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 1956 entre Hungría y la Unión Soviética , jugado en Melbourne el 6 de diciembre de 1956. Cuando los atletas partieron hacia el juegos, comenzó la revolución húngara y el ejército soviético aplastó el levantamiento. El partido fue sangriento y violento. Los húngaros derrotaron a los soviéticos 4-0 antes de que el juego se suspendiera en el último minuto para evitar que los húngaros enojados en la multitud reaccionaran cuando el jugador soviético Valentin Prokopov golpeó al jugador húngaro Ervin Zador . Se publicaron imágenes de las heridas de Zádor en todo el mundo, lo que llevó al apodo de "Sangre en el agua". [3]
Los húngaros ganaron la medalla de oro olímpica al derrotar a Yugoslavia 2-1 en la final.
Adición del programa de mujeres
El waterpolo femenino se convirtió en un deporte olímpico en los Juegos Olímpicos de Sydney 2000 . Seis naciones compitieron en el torneo femenino con el equipo local Australia ganando la medalla de oro sobre Estados Unidos .
De 2000 a 2016, el equipo femenino de Estados Unidos ganó cinco medallas consecutivas en waterpolo.
Geografía
El waterpolo es ahora popular en muchos países de todo el mundo, especialmente en Europa (particularmente en Croacia, Francia, Alemania, Grecia, Hungría, Italia, Malta , Montenegro, Países Bajos, Rumania, Rusia, Serbia y España ), Australia , Brasil, Canadá. y Estados Unidos .
A partir de 2016, 51 Comités Olímpicos Nacionales (CON) de seis continentes han enviado sus equipos de waterpolo a los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano. Los equipos masculinos de waterpolo de diez CON europeos ganaron los 26 torneos oficiales, mientras que los equipos femeninos de Europa, América del Norte y Oceanía ganaron las cinco medallas de oro. Los equipos de waterpolo de África , Asia y América del Sur aún no han ganado una medalla olímpica.
Sedes

El Sena en París acogió las primeras competiciones de waterpolo en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1900 . El Forest Park en St. Louis acogió los eventos de waterpolo para los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1904 .
La primera sede de waterpolo que no se encuentra en un río o un lago tuvo lugar en los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres de 1908 . No fue hasta los Juegos Olímpicos de 1920 que se creó un lugar separado para los lugares acuáticos. Los Juegos de 1948 fueron los primeros Juegos Olímpicos de waterpolo que se llevaron a cabo tanto en interiores como en más de un lugar. El primer lugar separado de waterpolo que no estaba conectado a otros lugares acuáticos fue en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio de 1964 .
