"Amazing. You don't see it but I'm so tired. I am really proud of my team. I think what we did was just the game that we love, that we play every day. We always want to win, but these types of games are special and we try to just focus and enjoy. I think this is like a really good start to our Olympic campaign. And we keep building. This is not the end. We want to go for the gold medal at the Olympics, so we need to improve ourselves and need to get better to be on top of our game." 

- Sabrina van der Sloot (NED), Netherlands, Gold, Water Polo, Women’s Final

 

"It was a really good game between two very good teams and the difference is minimal at this level. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions and a rollercoaster of everything."

- Evangelos Doudesis (NED), Netherlands (Head Coach), Gold, Water Polo, Women’s Final

 

"We lost this match but I think we had a good tournament. Even in the penalties we did a good job until the very end. I am very proud of this silver medal. This medal means a lot to me. It is the result of all the training we did, and all the sacrifices we made this summer. I am very proud of my team." 

- Elena Ruiz Barril (ESP), Spain, Silver, Water Polo, Women’s Final

 

"Even though we were not able to get the gold today, we are satisfied with the results. Losing the finals leaves a bit of a sour taste in your mouth, but winning a medal and getting a ticket to Paris is something to celebrate."

- Miguel Angel Oca Gaia (ESP), Spain (Head Coach ), Silver, Water Polo, Women’s Final

 

"Thanks to the team because they did a really good job. All of us, we did a really good job. Today we were sure we could win and we proved it in the water. I am really proud of them." 

- Roberta Bianconi (ITA), Italy, Bronze, Water Polo, Women’s Bronze Medal Match

 

"We just had one target in our minds and that led to victory. We must continue this way because we stay very close to this target but we must do something more. The competition is very tight so we must work every day, every hour, every minute and more." 

- Carlo Silipo (ITA), Italy (Head Coach), Bronze, Water Polo, Women’s Bronze Medal Match
