Three Olympic medals. But one final still hurts. In Part 2 of my
conversation with Croatian water polo legend Maro Joković, we
explore the emotions, pressure and mental challenges behind an
extraordinary Olympic career. From silver in Rio 2016 to the
unusual Tokyo Games and another Olympic final in Paris 2024, Maro
shares why some defeats are harder to accept than others – even
when you leave with a medal. We also discuss his first-hand
experience with World Aquatics' new 4x4 water polo format, why he
initially questioned it and what opportunities it might offer for
the future of the sport.
