The first semifinal matches of the water polo
tournament have concluded t at the FINA World Masters Championships in Kazan. The Olymp Swimming Pool hosted
six semifinal matches today.
Council
of Veterans (UZB) vs. Dynamo Masters (RUS) was the first match to open a streak
of water polo events. The Russian national team seemed to be much more prepared
this time, they ended the game with the 23-4 in their favour and earned
a chance to play in the final.
The
Russian water players from Dynamo Masters will compete for gold against the
Italian team Europa Sporting Association in the +50 age final. The
Italian squad turned out to be much stronger than their counterparts from
Brazil. The match ended with a 11-6 score on the board, which was mostly thanks
to Michele Baviera who managed to execute a penta trick against Brazil.

A
German derbie has unfolded today in the +65 age group between SV Poseidon
Hamburg and SV Cannstatt. The first ones could not only take over the swimming
pool but also outclassed the water polo players from the resort area – Bad
Cannstatt. The latter suffer ed a 3-5 defeat against SV Poseidon Hamburg,
thus allowing their compatriots to advance to the final.
Piestany,
a resort town in West Slovakia, can be 100% proud of their national team KVP
H2O Polo Piestan that easily edged the Austarlian team Perth Cockatoos out from
the right track to the final. The score 10-5 both literally and figuratively
proves Slovakia's superiority and deserved berth to the final.

It is
curious enough to know that in the youngest age group today three out of four
national teams fighting for the chance to play in the finals turned out to be
from Russia. Unfortunately, according to the semis results, gold medal won’t be
contested among the representatives of one country due to the interference of a
strong team from Kazakhstan, Astana Masters Club, that sort of tamed the
Tigers team from Russia, 11-7. The Russian Beavers team featuring distinguished
water polo player Sergei Garbuzov will be the next one to compete against the
Astana Masters team.
