Italy take men’s waterpolo bronze
Christian Presciutti scored four goals to help Italy beat Montenegro 12-10 in the bronzemedal match in men's water polo.
It's the second straight Olympic medal for Italy, which lost to Croatia in the London final. Coupled with the silver for Italy's women's team on Friday, it's the only country to medal in both water polo tournaments in Rio de Janeiro.
Montenegro finished fourth for the third straight Olympics.
Aleksandar Radovic scored with 1:57 left to get Montenegro within one. But Matteo Aicardi, wearing a mask to protect his broken nose from earlier in the tournament, connected on a long-range skip shot to help close it out for Italy.
Valentino Gallo added three goals for Italy, which lost 10-8 to Serbia in the semifinals.
