Men's Water Polo Preliminary Round - USA v ROU | London 2012 Olympics

Highlights of the Men's Water Polo Preliminary Round match between USA and Romania during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Water polo made its Olympic debut at the Paris Games in 1900. It was not included in 1904 but would be present at each subsequent edition of the Olympic Games.

In the early days, the players rode on floating barrels that resembled mock horses, and swung at the ball with mallet-like sticks. This made it similar to equestrian polo, hence its name.
