Pardon me while I expose your ignorance ;-)
Water polo is the first and oldest Olympic team sport.
Water polo has been deemed objectively and subjectively the toughest, most grueling competitive sport.
I have played, coached, officiated and ref’d water polo teams and run a state championship winning high school team.. I know of what I write.
Any of those USA women players could out swim, out wrestle and out maneuver you in the pool, and do it for over 30 minutes. AND give you a Speedo wedgie that would make you wish you were kissing Michelle instead. And there is nothing you could do to stop them.
I encourage you to learn more of the sport.
Last comment: ask the Navy Seals about water polo ...
I concur with your post.
Water polo players are by far the most conditioned athletes of all sports, and I have conditioned and trained for both main stream sports (foootball etc..) and water polo.
It’s a sport that uses by far more muscle groups than the usual mainstream sports.
