Brazilian-born Tony Azevedo is competing as an attacker (yes, that's the actual name of the position) for the US men's waterpolo team. Azevedo is competing in his fourth Olympics. In 2008, he helped the US men win a silver medal in a year we were not expected to medal at all. Tony competed for Stanford University and was selected NCAA player of the year all four years of college. He's now considered one of the world's top players. His father Rick competed for Brazil in the 1970s and now is a coach of Team USA. Four other aunts and uncles have competed in the Olympics dating all the way back to 1932. Good luck Tony!
