BEIJING (AP) Hungary's Peter Biros gingerly stepped toward the water, dragging his left leg behind. He stopped at the edge of the pool and started to remove the wrap, then decided to jump right in.
This was a celebration he couldn't afford to miss.
Biros scored three goals, all in the first half before injuring his hamstring, and the Hungarians beat the United States 14-10 to win a third consecutive gold medal in men's water polo.
