Who is Tony Azevedo?
Anthony Lawrence Azevedo is an Brazilian water polo player and a graduate of Stanford University. Nicknamed "The Savior" at one point, he is considered to be one of the best American water polo players in recent memory. He is the current captain of the US National Men's Water Polo Team.
Although he was born in Brazil, his family moved to California when he was 1 month old. When he was four, Azevedo suffered a fall that severed his trachea and esophagus. Although his heart stopped beating on the operating table for a period of four minutes before doctors were able to revive him, he made a complete recovery and went on to excel in water polo, a strenuous sport. He is 1.85m and weighs 91 kg.
