Serbia beat Croatia for third straight water polo gold published at 14:25 11 August
Serbia edged past Croatia to win their third straight Olympic title in the men's water polo.
Milos Cuk led the Serbs with three goals as they defeated Croatia 13-11 in Paris.
They become just the third team to win three consecutive golds after Great Britain (1908-1920) and Hungary (2000-2008).
Despite not finishing in the top three of a World Championships since 2017, Serbia have reached the podium at every Olympic Game since 1996.
They will be joined on the podium by the United States who defeated Hungary in a dramatic bronze medal match.
The Americans were 8-6 down with just three minutes left before they pulled back two crucial goals to force a penalty shootout, which they won 3-0.
