Despite his disability of losing the left leg below the knee, Olivér Halassy of Hungary scored seven goals in a match in 1932.

The following table is pre-sorted by date of the match (in ascending order), name of the player (in ascending order), respectively. Last updated: 4 August 2021.

Scoring seven or more goals in a water polo match is a great feat, as it has only been accomplished 12 times, by 12 players, in the history of men's Olympic tournament.

The first two Olympians to do so were Olivér Halassy and János Németh, with Hungary men's national team in Los Angeles on 8 August 1932. [1] Halassy lost his left leg below the knee when he was a boy. [2] He is the first and only amputee athlete to compete in water polo at the Summer Olympics. [3]

The most recent player to do so was Krisztián Manhercz, with Hungary men's national team in Tokyo on 4 August 2021. [4]

Four players have each netted nine goals in an Olympic match. Hungarian center forward János Németh is the first water polo player to achieve this feat. [1] On 22 October 1968, Zoran Janković of Yugoslavia became the second player to do so. [5] And Manuel Estiarte of Spain is the third player. [6] At the 2008 Games, Aleksandar Šapić of Serbia became the first player to score nine goals in an Olympic match in the 21st century.

At the 1968 Summer Olympics, László Felkai netted seven goals in the bronze medal match on 26 October 1968, helping the Hungarian team win the match. [7] A few hours later, Yugoslavia won the gold medal match over the Soviet Union after extra time, 13–11, despite seven goals scored by Aleksei Barkalov. [8] [9]
