U.S. Olympic women’s water polo squad set, eyes another gold medal

The world’s toughest water polo roster to make is set. USA Water Polo announced its 13-member Olympic women’s team Thursday.

The U.S. women are the defending Olympic champions, and have won a medal at every Olympic water polo event. The squad won silver in 2000, bronze in 2004 and silver again in 2008, before gold in 2012.

Entering the 2016 Games, the Americans hold the World Championship, World Cup and World League titles as well, making them the first nation to carry all four major championships at the same time since women’s water polo became an Olympic sport in 2000.
