25 Years Since Sydney 2000

With the year wrapping up, I just wanted to share this great look back at the 2000 Olympic Women’s Water Polo Team. Sydney 2000 was the first Olympic Games to offer women’s water polo and while Team USA is always a medal favorite these days, that was not the case 25 years ago. They weren’t expected to qualify let alone win a medal.

Nice story from Aimee Berg plus a breakdown of where they are now -US Women's Water Polo Celebrates 25 Years of Olympic Inclusion

Great article….thanks for posting it here!

Very cool article. I grew up with Julie Swail and remember her only option in high school was to play on the boys team. A very impressive and dedicated group of women.
