Quick, exhilarating and not for the faint-hearted, Water Polo should offer plenty of action in the pool at London 2012.
Key facts
Venue: Olympic Park – Water Polo Arena

Water Polo developed during the 19th century as an aquatic version of rugby, played informally in rivers and lakes. The version of the game that survives today is closer to Handball: a fast, tough and demanding sport, it’s featured on every Olympic programme since the Paris 1900 Games.
