APPEARANCE AND DYNAMICS OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE SENIOR AND JUNIOR WATER POLO FEMALE TEAMS CS CRIȘUL ORADEA BETWEEN THE YEARS 2011 - 2019 NATIONALLY

Abstract

The development of swimming as a sport constitutes one of the factors which favorized the emergence of water polo around the year 1870, as one of the oldest games in existence. England is considered to be the country of origin for water polo. Polo entered our country relatively late in comparison to other countries in Central Europe or with the West of our continent, towards the end of the third decade. The first attempts to practice the game of polo in Oradea were influenced by natural conditions and the climatic particularities of this geographical area. The first female water polo oficial game in Romania, took place in 2007, in Cluj-Napoca between the Politehnica Cluj team and CS Oradea. In the national championship at the senior level, the CS Crișul Oradea team occupied the first place on the podium for 3 consecutive years, between 2011-2014. In the years 2015-2016 it obtained the second place and in the last years it ranked last. The results obtained by the junior women's polo team CS Crișul Oradea are meritorious, having climbed between the years 2012-2019 on the podium at all editions of the National Championship with a rich track record: a gold medal, four silver medals and two bronze medals. In the Romanian Cup, the CS Crișul Oradea team performed at a high level, ranking on the podium between 2012-2016.
