Dominant Croatia win Olympic Waterpolo Gold

Croatian Times

The Croatian waterpolo team made it 3 gold medals in total for Croatia on Sunday when they beat Italy in the final of the men's waterpolo competition at the Olympic Games in London.

Croatia, who were undefeated throughout the tournament in London, beat Italy 8:6 in front of Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic, who flew to London especially for the match.

The gold medal was Croatia's first gold medal in waterpolo at the Olympic Games since Croatia became independent. The win sealed a third major victory for coach Ratko Rudic, after winning the World Championships in Melbourne in 2007 and the European Championship in Zagreb in 2010.

"I am extremely happy, I want to congratulate the guys. There has not been one waterpolo team who has been as dominant as we have been all tournament at any Olympic Games before who have won the gold medal. We had no problems in any match," said a delighted Rudic.
