Thai Water Polo Stars Battle Floods at Team Lodgings
Thailand's bronze medal-winning women's water polo team faces flooding at their Sports Authority accommodation following their historic 2026 Asian Games finish, forcing athletes to evacuate motorcycles as water levels rise.
Thailand's women's water polo team, which just completed the 2026 Asian Games with a historic bronze medal, has been hit by flooding at their Sports Authority of Thailand accommodation facility, which houses 300 beds. Rising water levels have disrupted daily life for the athletes, who have been forced to wade through floodwaters attempting to move motorcycles away from the affected area. Despite their efforts, water levels continued to rise, and at least one motorcycle was completely submerged. This challenge comes immediately after the team achieved their remarkable accomplishment of winning the bronze medal at the 2026 Asian Games, a historic first that has made Thai sports proud. The situation reflects the broader impact of severe weather and widespread flooding causing hardship for residents in the area. Authorities are closely monitoring water levels and ensuring the safety of the athletes.
