How much popular is water polo in Serbia and Croatia? Does children at school play this in PE lessons? In Poland nobody knows about water polo, for Poles it's strange sport... Wchich disciplines are the most popular in your countries?

Water polo in Serbia is very popular, in Croatia and Montenegro too.
But I doubt that kids in school plays it, cause there is no pools in our schools loool

After football which is a globally popular, in this moment the most popular sport ijn Serbia are tennis and basketball. Everybody talk about tennis, every person know everything about Novak, Rafa, Federer etc lol

I thought the most popular sport in Serbia (after football, of course) is volleyball, Serbia has got very good teams. In Poland after football are: volleyball, ski jumping (because of Adam Małysz and Kamil Stoch), cross-country skiing (because of Justyna Kowalczyk) and speedway (races on motorcycles, I don't if it's known elsewhere).

So Macedonia will be in the Olympic qualifying tournament after all, as Africa gave up their spot. :eek: :mrgreen: Question is now, can I make it to Edmonton? :lol:

As it happens now, the ideal draw for :mk: would look like:
Spain (I wouldn't mind Montenegro either)
Canada
Japan
Brazil/China
Cuba (I wouldn't mind Greece)
MACEDONIA

I do hope for Canada and Japan in our group! :mrgreen:

Tennis is popular in Serbia from 2007 to now. When Novak Ana and Jelena started to play good tennis has been the most popular sport here. But now we are good in almoast every team sport. Basketball water polo volleyball... Handball is starting to be popular because of the last championship played here :).

Volleyball is not that popular, exception is national teams, but clubs suck. In last few years swimming become very popular too thanks to Milorad Čavić. Serbs don't care for winter sports at all (even I'm huge ice hockey fun)
