Los Angeles, CA – June 16 – U.S. Olympic Women’s Water Polo Team Head Coach Adam Krikorian announced the 13 athletes that will compete for Team USA this August at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Krikorian made the announcement during a press conference held at the LA84 Foundation in Los Angeles earlier today.
Four years after winning the first Olympic gold in program history in the Summer of 2012 in London, four returners from that team anchor the 2016 edition. Team captain and 2012 Olympic Games MVP Maggie Steffens will lead Team USA into action in Rio. She is joined by fellow 2012 Olympic gold medalists Kami Craig, Courtney Mathewson, and Melissa Seidemann.
Nine Olympic newcomers fill out the rest of the Team USA roster. The United States will open competition at the Olympic Games on August 9, 2016 against Spain. The game takes place four years to the day after the USA Women won Olympic Gold in London against the very same Spain squad. Draw into Group B, Team USA will meet China and Hungary in preliminary play. The medal round is scheduled for August 19.
The U.S. Olympic Women’s Water Polo Team is currently ranked number one in the world. They have won every major tournament since 2014 including the FINA World Championship, FINA World Cup, Pan American Games title, and three FINA World League Super Final titles. This past March they claimed gold at the Olympic Qualification Tournament, earning a berth to the 2016 Olympic Games following a 19-0 victory over France in the quarterfinal round.
