1956 Water Polo

The last time Australia hosted the Olympics, in 1956, Hungary was a power in water polo, and scored a victory over the Soviet Union. It was important because at the time, Hungary was trying to win a real war back home against the Soviets. Robert talks to Ervin Zador, who was injured in that 1956 game.
