He will compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics.Water polo is a team water sport. The playing team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper.

Product Description
Banana Heads from the Acrapolips is ultimately a story about life’s potential for generating hilarity. In it, Lou Gioia, die-hard Brooklynite and water polo fan, takes the reader on the adventure of a lifetime to Athens during the 2004 Olympics. Affectionately calling themselves “banana heads,” Lou and his best friend, Tommy, could not be more hilarious travel companions. Whether it’s their flippant personalities or those famous Brooklyn accents, they seem to generate excitement, confusion, and flat-out hilarity everywhere. Aside from their drunken antics and comical culture clashes, this is not a “feel good story” of athletic triumph. This is a story about the multiple dimensions of friendship and affiliation; about two guys laughing their butts off or crying like babies on each other’s shoulder. ... Read more
