Water Polo

Canada's women's water polo team fared poorly, despite beating the number one ranked team from the United States during the round robin. Losing the other two games in the preliminary round put Canada in last place in the pool and eliminated the team from medal contention. They would end up finishing seventh.

Famous quotes containing the word water:

    Camels are snobbish
    and sheep, unintelligent; water buffaloes, neurasthenic—
    even murderous.
    Reindeer seem over-serious.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
