Day 14 -Último dia de Competición-  Domingo 29/01/2012 Eindhoven 2012 Waterpolo European Championships

 Ayer vivimos la final femenina y el partido por el bronce amén de nuestra victoria en el masculino ante la siempre combativa Rumania. Nuestras selecciones han conseguido los respectivos billetes para sus respectivos Torneos de clasificación para el preolímpico ( Trieste -femenino- y Edmonton -masculino ).

 Hoy será el dia de finalización de estos Campeonatos de Europa. Viviremos el partido por el oro entre Serbia y Montenegro ( la misma final que vivimos en Málaga 2008 actuando de auxiliares ) y por el bronce Italia con Hungria.

 Nuestros equipos ya regresan para casa, nosotros lo haremos mañana lunes.

Las designaciones para el dia de hoy serán :

La tarde del sábado , tras presenciar las finales femeninas , recibimos las designaciones .

 Os he de confesar que mi satisfacción y alegria de haber pitado 3 partidos en la 1ª fase,unos 1/4 de final y las 2 1/2 finales ( una en masculino y otra en femenino ) no puede ser en absoluto completa pues a mi compañero Xevi , inexplicavemente , no le han dado ningún partido en la última semana !

 Es en estos momentos que cuando estas lejos de la familia y de casa, gastando vacaciones del trabajo y absolutamente por "amor al arte" más mal te sabe que se den circumstancias como estas.

 En uno de mis primeros post , os comentaba que consideraba que tener 24 arbitros para una Competición como esta, eran quizas demasiados árbitros. Es muy dificil contentar a todo el mundo e imagino que cómo en otros ámbitos pueden tener en cuenta otro tipo de factores ajenos a la calidad individual como árbitro.

 Quizás la solucion pase , cómo ya os comenté, en reducir el nº de árbitros con lo que cada uno de nosotros pite con más regularidad los dias que dure la Competición.

Más tarde , afortunadamente para Xevi , han habido cambios.... es ahora cuando más me doy cuenta lo seriamente que hacemos las cosas en España ( en cuento a designaciones se refiere obviamente ) pues finalmente lo han incluido en el partido por el bronce ITA-HUN !!!

 Así pues , la participación de nuestros representantes no podia ser más completa cogiendo el testigo de otros grandes árbitros españoles como Sergi Borrell,Joaquim Fernández, Angel Moliner y tantos otros...


Excelente organización de Eindhoven 2012

Serbia is the new European champion. The Serbs defeated Montenegro in a tense final 9-8 on Sunday in front of a sell-out Pieter van den Hoogenband Swim statium. The absence of the Montenegrin centre-forward Boris Zlokovic, due to a hand injury, and a poor shooting day of top scorer Mladjan Janovic caused difficulties for the 2008 European champions although they sticked with Serbia until the very end of the match. With less than a minute to play, Serbian centre-back Milan Aleksic got his third exclusion but after a Ranko Perovic called time-out, his team was unable to convert the power play as Nikola Janovic at the left 2-meter position was defended very well and could not fire the ball he had received to score. The eventually prooved winning goal was made beautifully by the Serbian captain Vanja Udovicic on a power play with just over a minute to play. The 2012 title is the first for Serbia since their 2006 championship in Belgrade, Serbia.

After a nervous start and a very levelled game, Serbia seemed to decided the match in their favour in the fourh quarter when they took an 7-5 and 8-6 lead but Partizan-player Aleksandar Radovic scored three consecutive goals that got Montenegrin back in the game twice before Vanja Udovicic hit the winner with 1.12 to play.

Mladjan Janovic was awarded Best Player of the Tournament just before the medal ceremony.

Hungary is the 2012 European championships bronze medal winner. The reigning Olympic champions defeated Italy 12-9 in the bronze medal match on Sunday in front of a 3.100 spectator sell-out Pieter van den Hoogenband Swim stadium. After a nervous start and 4-5 halftime score, Italy opened up a three-goal lead in the third quarter (8-5), before the Hungarians made a great comeback in the fourth quarter on a 5-goal run ending with a exclusion without substitution for a frustrated Pietro Figlioli who kicked centre-forward Adam Steinmetz with fourty seconds left in the game. Gergely Kiss converted the awarded penalty shot for a 9-12 final score.

After two weeks of top waterpolo, the big final of the 2012 European championships will be played on Sunday in a sold-out Pieter van den Hoogenband Swim stadium in front of 3.100 spectators. Maybe not the expected, but a not less exciting final as Serbia takes on Montenegro. A rematch of the 2008 Europeans final in Malaga, Spain when Montenegro wrote a little history defeating their former teammates 6-4. Looking at the results of the tournament, Serbia can be considered favorites but both teams can't hide any secrets from each other. Serbia gained a convincing 12-8 win over Italy in the semi-final while Montenegro needed extra time for an absolute upset against hot gold medal favorites Hungary. Veteran Predrag Jokic scored the winner with two minutes to play in the second half of overtime. For Serbia, the red-hot shooting Mladjan Janovic, who scored 20 goals already, will need extra attention from the defence while the offensive qualities of mainly Serbian centre-forward Dusko Pijetlovic, lefhander Filip Filipovic and leading Vanja Udovicic must be stopped by the Montenegrin defence in order to reach a second ever big waterpolo title. Serbia is looking for the first European championship since 2006 when Hungary was defeated 9-8 in a thrilling final in Belgrade, Serbia. The game will start at 15.30 local time while Italy and Hungary will battle each other for the bronze medal from 13.30 local time already.
