 Action between RSA-NZL
When Ekaterina Prokofyeva waved the flag in triumph from the pool following her Russian team’s victory at the FINA World Junior Women’s Water Polo Championships in western Siberia, it heralded a new age.
Not just the age of the athletes, which at 18 years and under was a new and younger statistic, but a new dawn for water polo.
It showcased in Khanty-Mansiysk (from August 9-15, 2009), the oil and gas-rich autonomous region of Russia, what the world has to offer at the younger level. It also took the game to a new region where water polo is starting to flourish and is home to the third best women’s team in Russia. |
