Hilarious moment Greek Olympic water polo team lift car so bus can squeeze down narrow street

This is the hilarious moment the Greek Olympic water polo team lift a parked car during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

On the day of their 14-7 triumph over Romania on the weekend, the squad were forced to try and lift the vehicle on a narrow street.

A post on social media claimed the parked car was blocking their Olympic bus, according to Greek City Times.

Footage shows a group of the players bending down to pick up the black car, but they seem to only be able to move it a few inches.

Meanwhile, the Greek team's coaching staff can be seen laughing and filming the ordeal in the background.

Several people responded to the video on X, with one person claiming it shows 'Greek spirit'.

The nation is set to face Montenegro tonight at 6.30pm as they continue in Group A.

Elsewhere in the Games, Olympic triathlon training sessions have been cancelled again over health concerns due to pollution in the River Seine.

Officials will make a call on whether the famous river, part of a £1bn clean-up, will be fit to enter around four-and-a-half hours ahead of the planned 8am start. 

Should bacteria levels remain unsafe, organisers have two options. They can drop the swimming and make the event a duathlon, or postpone it to a later date. August 2 has been pencilled in. The women's triathlon is due to take place on Wednesday.

Swimming in the Seine, which dissects the city, has been banned since 1923. In 1990, Jacques Chirac, then mayor of Paris, famously declared that he would make it clean enough to enter, but failed in his mission.
