England Water Polo’s Andy Rollé to work alongside polo greats on ISHOF panel - February 9, 2023
Congratulations to English water polo journalist and player Andy Rollé who has recently been appointed to an international aquatic committee.
Rollé has been named on the International Swimming Hall of Fame’s Honouree Selection Committee’s water polo sub-committee.
Rollé, who has covered the last three Olympic Games — London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020 — and been a member of the press at the last six European Championships, has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game and its history.
He is one of five European representatives on the 10-person committee that will sift through a myriad of nominees for induction each year. The sub-committee will then prioritise a small number of possible inductees to go to the electoral college, which consists of about 150 aquatics specialists worldwide and up to two people will then be inducted, generally at the ISHOF headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, USA.
ISHOF Executive Nomination Committee chair, Russell McKinnon, of Australia, said Rollé was well suited to the position.
“Andy has been involved with the sport internationally for the past decade and his dedication to the sport and knowledge of the code has brought him into contact with many people in line for induction.
“Andy will work alongside such greats of the game as Hungarian super coach Dénes Kemény and superstar players Gianni de Magistris (ITA) and Brenda Villa (USA).
Inductions are done yearly and about 10-12 people across all the disciplines are elevated with generally two from water polo.”
England Water Polo wishes Andy all the best in his new role, ‘It’s great to see Andy joining the ISHOF selection committee, especially after all his achievements covering international water polo for the IOC, as well as helping provide England Water Polo with media coverage of every England and Great Britain match since 2014.’
