With the USA and Italy the group stage of the women’s water polo tournament saw two clear winners, who both convincingly walked through to the final. For the first time in Olympic history two teams, who already had been Olympic champions, played for the gold.
The defending Olympic champion USA again won the gold medal with a clear 12-5 victory, thus being the only team that has always been placed in the medals at all five Olympic women’s water polo tournaments. Italy, the 2004 Athina Olympic champion, had to be satisfied with the silver medal. Russia won the bronze medal by beating Hungary, the reigning European champion, in a long lasting shoot-out, winning by 7-6.
