    French National Team Olympian | CN Marseille Attacker

    Available
    Rightie Attacker

    I started playing water polo at 6 years old and turned professional at 14, playing my first Champions League games at a very young age. Since then, I have dedicated my life to performing at the highest level, while always keeping the joy of playing in the water at the center of everything I do. With my club Marseille, I won the LEN Euro Cup and reached the Champions League semi finals. With the French national team, I reached the World Championship semi finals, where I was honored to be named MVP and Best Scorer. I was also the top scorer at the latest European Championships and had the privilege of competing at the Paris Olympic Games. Alongside my sporting career, I am also studying in engineering school, balancing high level sport and academics.

    Vince Vigvari

    Hungarian National Team Olympian | World Champion

    Available
    Rightie Attacker

    I started playing water polo at a young age and quickly fell in love with the competitiveness of the sport and the small details that separate good players from great ones. That mindset pushed me to chase the highest levels of the game, and over the years I have had the opportunity to compete in the biggest tournaments in the world, against the best athletes on the planet. With the Hungarian national team, I became a World Champion and also earned silver medals at both the World Championships and European Championships. I had the honor of representing my country on the Olympic stage and finishing fourth, and I continue to bring that same standard to my club career, including winning a Spanish championship and earning a Champions League bronze medal. Before the senior level, I was also a Junior World Champion and was named MVP, which was a big moment for me and a reminder that hard work and attention to detail always pay off.
