Moldovan sportsman

I want to describe water polo, because it is my favorite sport.


Water polo is a competitive team sport played in water between
two teams of 7 players each. The game consists of four quarters
in which the two teams attempt to score goals by throwing
the ball into the opposing team's goal. The team with the most
goals at the end of the game wins the match. Each team is made
up of six field players and one goalkeeper. Excluding the
goalkeeper, players participate in both offensive and defensive
roles. Water polo is typically played in an all-deep pool so that
players cannot touch the bottom.
I have been practicing water polo for 5 years and my aim is
to be like Moldavian water polo sportsmen: Sergey Markoch, Yuri
Bashkatov.

The native of Chisinau won bronze medals at the 1988 and 1992

winner of all European cups, including the Super Cup. He was
recognized as the best "agile striker" in the world. For ten years
he was the captain of the USSR national team. Also, the
Moldovan athlete played in Italy for five years, becoming the
champion of the country.
