Olympics-Waterpolo-Croatians grow moustaches as lucky charm
Sun Aug 10, 2008
BEIJING, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Croatia’s water polo team believe their team moustaches, grown especially for Beijing, will prove their lucky charm at the Olympics.
The world champions showed up for Sunday’s game against Italy sporting everything from a few wisps of hair to full moustaches.
“It’s for good luck, but we can’t talk about it, it’s a secret, if I tell you, it will ruin it,” Igor Hinic told Reuters.
“Maybe it’s working, it worked today, but it’s too early to tell,” Hinic said after Croatia beat Italy 11:7.
The team began cultivating facial hair after goalkeeper Josip Pavic showed up to a training camp with a moustache.
“We have spent three months together training, maybe it was too much, and we have gone little crazy,” said Barac Samir, who sports one of the team’s thickest moustaches. (editing by Keith Weir)
