Water polo is a heck of a demanding sport; like graceful swans, the players scythe through the water, using their long arms to gain an advantage, while all the while the water obscures the calamity beneath. Water polo players are prohibited from touching the bottom or the sides of the pool throughout the game, which is divided into four seven-minute quarters. This results in some amazing feats of endurance; players are calculated to cover no less than 3 miles each during the course of an average game, and let's face it, the Olympics games are not average! Polo is truly the unsung master of the endurance sports realm, and as a spectator you will know this, and it will massively increase your appreciation of the game. 2008 Olympics Water polo tickets are guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
