The Australian Olympic Committee has announced the 13-strong women’s water polo team for Tokyo 2020. Our very own Rowie Webster has been included for her third Olympics and has been selected as Captain of the Stingers Team. We are immensely proud of her achievements.

Rowie said today, “It’s unbelievable to be announced as Captain of an Olympic team. To be able to lead out an incredible group of women, it will truly be the honour of a lifetime and a childhood dream come true.”

“Hearing the words “you’re going to the Olympics” from your head coach is special. I probably didn’t realise how much I needed to hear those words finally being said.

“What I’m most excited about this Aussie Stingers team is the different skills and variety in the team makeup.  You have someone like Bron Knox, whose composure and experience you can’t buy… it’s been an honour to play alongside her for so many years. On the other hand you have so many fresh faces in the team and to see their growth during this Olympic cycle and the enthusiasm that they will carry into Tokyo, complements our team so well.”

Richmond Water Polo Club congratulates all members named in the final squad this is an outstanding achievement and we look forward to cheering them on in Tokyo.
