USA retains World Cup crown with repeat win over Australia
| | | Sunday 17 August 2014, 17:31 | | | Tim Hartog |
USA head Coach Adam Krikorian was ecstatic with the way his team played. “A great win caps off a very good summer for us. We played tough all week. It was comforting to come into the final with the right attitude and preparation. It was excellent. It was a little bit reminiscent of Christchurch (four years ago) when we got up (6-0 at halftime) and they battled back (6-3). Anyway, it was good to get a good lead. All credit to Australia for fighting back. We expected it.”
Goalkeeper Ashleigh Johnson was voted best for the tournament, even though she did not play the final. Her efforts earlier in the week gained huge votes from opposition coaches. Australia’s Rowena Webster was voted the Most Valuable Player for the week and deservedly so with her six-goal effort to salvage the 10-8 quarter-final against Russia. Bronze went to Spain — its first at this level — and still on the dais after winning world gold in Barcelona last year and the European championships this year. China pulled the game back to 5-5 in the last, but Anna Espar claimed four goals including the go-ahead goal before teammate Roser Tarrago, one of the week’s standouts, scored the last.
In the play-off for fifth and sixth, Hungary emerged the victor over host nation Russia, 14-11, in what was an interesting match-up. It was 9-9 early in the final quarter before Hungary pulled away. Ekaterina Prokofyeva, Russia’s captain, amassed the highest number of goals with 24, including a nine-goal haul against Singapore. South Africa gained its first win of the week, a week in which three players were sidelined at various stages through injury. South Africa beat fellow World Cup newcomer Singapore 11-6.

Results
Sunday, 17 August
Singapore (L17) vs. South Africa (L18) 6-11 (0-3, 3-2, 0-5, 3-1) - (7th/8th place)
SINGAPORE: Seet Low, Ting Koh (1), Su-Lynn Tan, Enci Kan, Adelyn Yew (1), Angeline Teo, Ser Han Neo, Lynette Tan (2), Yiwen Ng, Denise Chen (2), En Yuan Loke, Cheng Ong, Eunice Fu. Head Coach: Luo Nan.
SOUTH AFRICA: Anke Jacobs, Amica Hallendorf (2), Kieren Paley, Kim Rosslee (1), Carly Wessels, Samantha Shead (1), Chloe Bradley, Lee-Ann Keet, Christy Rawstrom (1), Megan Parkes (1), Deborah O’Hanlon (1), Kelsey White (4), Rebecca Thomas. Head Coach: Brad Rowe.
South Africa created World Cup history for its country with a first win at this level of competition. Both South Africa and Singapore were playing at a World Cup for the first time and they suffered some heavy defeats all week, so relished the chance for closer competition. The injury-prone South Africa had control in the early stages and led 5-0 at 5:21 in the second period before Singapore awoke and snapped in three straight goals, two from centre forward Denise Chen to close out the half at 5-3. Singapore then had a rampant opposition in the third period as South Africa slotted five unanswered goals with Kelsey White adding two more to the two she scored in the opening quarter. Deborah O’Hanlon scored with a penalty goal at 8-3. Singapore, keen to get back scoring, went to a timeout at 1:18 , but the resulting shot by Chen went wide of the mark. On Singapore’s next attack it took three shots on goal for no reward, the last a drag-back on the buzzer. Adelyn Yew brought Singapore back on track with a strong effort at centre forward to start the final quarter, scoring Singapore’s 10th goal of the tournament. Tan struck again two minutes later with a low missile from the top just after the extra-play period was over for 10-5 at 5:21. O’Hanlon stepped up for another penalty attempt, but Seet Low blocked the shot. Christy Rawstrom converted extra-man attack at 2:46 for 11-5. When Ting Koh scored from well outside at 0:57 for 11-6, it doubled Singapore’s tally for the tournament.
Hungary (W17) vs. Russia (W18) 14-11 (4-4, 5-4, 3-1, 3-1) - (5th/6th place)
HUNGARY: Orsolya Kaso, Dora Czigany, Dora Antal (1), Hannah Kisteleki (2), Gabriella Szucs (1), Orsolya Takacs, Anna Illes, Rita Keszthelyi (4), Ildiko Toth (3), Barbara Bujka (2), Anita Hevesi, Kata Menczinger (1), Edina Gangl. Head Coach: Andras Meresz.
RUSSIA: Maria Bersneva, Ekaterina Prokofyeva (1), Elvina Karimova (3), Valeriia Kolmakova (1), Olga Koryakina, Nadezhda Iarondaykina (1), Maria Borisova (1), Anna Kravchenko, Anna Grineva (2), Evgeniya Ivanova (2), Daria Ryzhkova. Anna Karnaukh. Head Coach: Mikhail Nakoriakov.
Hungary and Russia could have expected higher finishes at this tournament, but such was the luck and superior play of other teams, they had to settle for fifth and sixth. Hungary came through in what was an engrossing match. The pace of the match was frantic from the start with 17 goals by halftime. Hungary started fastest at 2-0, only to be overtaken 3-2 by Russia — five goals in just over three minutes. The eight goals in the quarter were scored by eight different players. The intensity was there still in the second quarter Barbara Bujka took Hungary to the lead and, soon after Rita Keszthelyi had a penalty attempt blocked by Anna Karnaukh, Maria Borisova regained the lead for Russia at 6-5. Hannah Kisteleki and Kata Menczinger brought Hungary 7-6 ahead, only for Elvina Karimova to respond. The match see-sawed through to 10-9 midway through the third period when Prokofyeva had her penalty attempt blocked by Orsolya Kaso. Ildiko Toth, who missed a match through injury earlier in the week, scored at centre forward and Keszthelyi drilled a shot on counter at 3:26 for 12-9 and the final goal of the period. Karimova gave Russia hope on extra at 6:26, but Kiszthelyi, then Valeriia Kolmakova and Keszthelyi again, for her 24th goal of the tournament had the match secured at 0:26.
China (L19) vs. Spain (L20) 5-7 (1-2, 1-2, 2-1, 1-2) - (3rd/4th place)
CHINA: Jun Yang, Jing Zhang, Ping Liu, Yujun Sun, Huili Chen, Yating Sun (1), Donglun Song (1), Cong Zhang, Zihan Zhao (1), Jianing Tian, Xinyan Wang (1), Guannan Niu (1), Lin Peng. Head Coach: Rick Azevedo.
SPAIN: Patricia Herrera, Marta Bach, Anna Espar (4), Beatriz Ortiz, Matilde Ortiz (2), Helena Lloret, Clara Espar, Lorena Miranda, Mar Pastor, Roser Tarrago (1), Paula Chillida, Laura Vicente, Maria Sanchez. Head Coach: Miguel Oca.
Spain gained its first World Cup medal, out-gunning China 7-5 with two late goals and the experience and guile of Anna Espar. It was Espar who grabbed the limelight with four goals and could have taken a fifth had she not had her penalty attempt blocked six minutes from full time. Once Espar scored from outside and then from centre forward to take Spain into the lead at 2-1 in the first quarter, the world and European champion maintained the advantage, despite China coming back at 2-2 at the start of the second period, and then 5-5 early in the final quarter. When Zihan Zhao equalised at 5-5, the match looked like it could go to a penalty shootout, something that did not look likely in any of the four matches on Saturday. There was a buzz in the pool and both teams had the experience of big matches to produce a winning effort. Espar did not succeed with the penalty but she did strike back three minutes later on extra for her fourth goal. Then Roser Tarrago, so much the driving force for Spain all week, struck the winning goal and China’s effort after a timeout was commendable, but too late. Yating Sun was given the ball at two metres and snappily went with a backhand shot that was blocked. If it went in, China could have won the ball and equalised. However, Spain was not to be denied a medal, something that is starting to become a habit. Head Coach Miguel Oca said on Saturday that his team had no right to expect title after title. They had to be earned each tournament, he said.
USA (W19) vs. Australia (W20) 10-6 (3-1, 4-2, 3-2, 0-1) - (1st/2nd place)
USA: Samantha Hill, Alys Williams, Melissa Seidemann (3), Rachel Fattal (1), Caroline Clark, Maggie Steffens (1), Courtney Mathewson (2), Kiley Neushul (2), Jillian Kraus, Kaleigh Gilchrist, Annike Dries, Kameryn Craig (1), Ashleigh Johnson. Head Coach: Adam Krikorian.
AUSTRALIA: Lilian Hedges, Jayde Appel, Hannah Buckling, Bronte Colenso, Isobel Bishop, Bronwen Knox (1), Rowie Webster (2), Glencora McGhie (2), Zoe Arancini, Ashleigh Southern, Morgan Baxter, Keesja Gofers (1) , Kelsey Wakefield. Head Coach: Greg McFadden.
United States of America proved why it is one of the best teams of the past decade, collecting a second consecutive gold medal, while Australia had to settle for silver for the second time, following a third consecutive appearance, winning gold in 2006. USA had the goods in all departments and used them effectively. It was a high-class match as they always are, as evidenced by Olympic, World League and World Cup titles. Only Spain’s world title has eluded it in recent years. The Aussie Stingers began the goal assault, but USA struck the next four times and it was not until two minutes into the second period that Australia made it 4-2. By halftime, USA had taken a stranglehold with a 7-3 margin. Australia kept fighting back, but just when it looked good at 7-5 down by 4:31 in the third, USA hammered in three more for 10-5 by the end of the third quarter. Courtney Mathewson converted one of the few penalty conversions of the day. Glencora McGhie brought one back at 4:18 in the final quarter and a late timeout ploy saw Ashleigh Southern smash the crossbar. It was not to be Australia’s day, but it goes home with 10 medals in this competition, second only to the Netherlands, who have 12. USA and Australia now have three golds, which USA has five silvers and a bronze compared to Australia’s three silvers and four bronzes.
Australian head coach Greg McFadden said: “USA is a very good team and been together since May. They are a well-drilled team and do not have many weaknesses. We made some silly errors and maissed opportunities and didn’t get close enough to put pressure on them. The senior players — Rowie (Webster), Glennie (Glencora McGhie) and Bronnie (captain Bronwen Knox), worked their butts off all week.”

Saturday, 16 August
Hungary (L13) vs. Singapore (L16) 42-0 (14-0, 11-0, 7-0, 10-0) - game 17
HUNGARY: Orsolya Kaso, Dora Czigany (5), Dora Antal (5), Hannah Kisteleki (2), Gabriella Szucs (2), Orsolya Takacs, Anna Illes (2), Rita Keszthelyi (9), Ildiko Toth (3), Barbara Bujka (8), Anita Hevesi (1), Kata Menczinger (5), Edina Gangl. Head Coach: Andras Meresz.
SINGAPORE: Seet Low, Ting Koh, Su-Lynn Tan, Enci Kan, Adelyn Yew, Angeline Teo, Ser Han Neo, Lynette Tan, Yiwen Ng, Denise Chen, En Yuan Loke, Cheng Ong, Eunice Fu. Head Coach: Luo Nan.
Hungary was far too strong for Singapore and did not take the foot off the pedal at any stage. As Hungary pressed for much of the time, Singapore struggled to get the ball up front and when it did have chances, it failed to take the opportunities.
Russia (L14) vs. South Africa (L15) 22-2 (7-0, 5-1, 9-0, 1-1) - game 18
RUSSIA: Maria Bersneva (2), Ekaterina Prokofyeva (2), Elvina Karimova (3), Valeriia Kolmakova (1), Olga Koryakina (2), Nadezhda Iarondaykina (3), Maria Borisova (1), Anna Kravchenko (1), Anna Grineva (1), Evgeniya Ivanova (3), Daria Ryzhkova (3). Anna Karnaukh. Head Coach: Mikhail Nakoriakov
SOUTH AFRICA: Anke Jacobs, Amica Hallendorf, Kieren Paley, Kim Rosslee (1), Carly Wessels, Samantha Shead (1), Chloe Bradley, Lee-Ann Keet, Christy Rawstrom, Megan Parkes, Deborah O’Hanlon, Kelsey White, Rebecca Thomas. Head Coach: Brad Rowe.
Russia played to win and give South Africa respect and South Africa responded with two goals and plenty of blocks and saves against a far superior team. With the result never being in doubt and eyes only on Hungary in Sunday’s play-off for fifth and sixth, Russia played with purpose in the first half and then the stars were rested to allow the full team water time. One of South Africa’s goals came on extra at the end of the second quarter at 12-1 and the second goal in action settled for 21-2 late in the fourth. In fact, such was South Africa’s resolve, it scored the first goal of the period at 2:58 and finished the eight minutes at 1-1. Russia’s number one goalkeeper, Evgeniia Novoksenova, did not play, suffering from illness.
China (W13) vs. USA (W16) 4-11 (0-4, 0-3, 3-2, 1-2) - game 19
CHINA: Jun Yang, Jing Zhang, Ping Liu, Yujun Sun, Huili Chen, Yating Sun, Donglun Song (1), Cong Zhang (1), Zihan Zhao (1), Jianing Tian, Xinyan Wang, Guannan Niu (1), Lin Peng. Head Coach: Rick Azevedo.
USA: Samantha Hill, Alys Williams, Melissa Seidemann (1), Rachel Fattal (1), Caroline Clark (1), Maggie Steffens (4), Courtney Mathewson (1), Kiley Neushul (1), Jillian Kraus, Kaleigh Gilchrist, Annike Dries, Kameryn Craig (2), Ashleigh Johnson. Head Coach: Adam Krikorian.
When a team comes out and keeps the other scoreless in a World Cup semifinal for the first half, there must be something special about that team. USA owns the Olympic, World League and World Cup crowns and desperately wants to retain the title here in Khanty-Mansiysk. With a Kami Craig centre-forward special in the first minute, two Maggie Steffens goals — one on extra and the other on counter — USA was well placed. Kiley Neushul added a fourth with three seconds left from the top right. More damage was to ensue in the second quarter as Caroline Clark, Steffens with a third and Rachel Fattal with her 10th of the tournament set the bar high for China to jump. China settled in the third and won the period 3-2. Guannan Niu opened the period on extra and Craig responded. Cong Zhang sent in a soft lob down the left and Zihan Zhao nailed a third. Steffens closed the quarter with a close-in shot from deep left for 9-3, a margin almost too big for China to even contemplate surpassing. China maintained the pressure on USA in the final period, but USA was too good and not wanting to lose another period, as it marches on to Sunday’s final.
Australia (W14) vs. Spain (W15) 8-2 (2-1, 1-0, 3-1, 2-0) - game 20
AUSTRALIA: Lilian Hedges, Jayde Appel, Hannah Buckling, Bronte Colenso, Isobel Bishop, Bronwen Knox (3), Rowie Webster (2), Glencora McGhie (2), Zoe Arancini, Ashleigh Southern, Morgan Baxter, Keesja Gofers (1), Kelsey Wakefield. Head Coach: Greg McFadden.
SPAIN: Patricia Herrera, Marta Bach, Anna Espar, Beatriz Ortiz, Matilde Ortiz, Helena Lloret, Clara Espar, Lorena Miranda, Mar Pastor, Roser Tarrago (2), Paula Chillida, Laura Vicente, Maria Sanchez. Head Coach: Miguel Oca.
Australia and Spain played an amazing game of water polo, but Australia conquered the world and European champion with a powerful effort built on teamwork and skills around the pool. Throw in a three-goal effort to captain Bronwen Knox, who is approaching 300 internationals, and you have a team capable of matching it with USA in Sunday’s final. Knox scored two goals in the first quarter to Spanish powerhouse Roser Tarrago’s one. The second quarter saw both teams battering each other for little effect, although Glencora McGhie countered down the right for the 3-1 goal and only score of the period. After two periods of compact action where both teams crushed any attempt of a breakout, the third period lit up the stadium. Firstly Tarrago broke a 15-minute drought for Spain when allowed to shoot from seven metres for 3-2. However, Rowena Webster responded instantly on an extra-man attack for the second two-goal margin of the match. Then McGhie scored a second for 5-2. The match had suddenly changed. Both teams took timeouts to no avail and when Australia regained the ball in the dying seconds of the quarter, Webster took the ball on her 2m line, watched the clock and launched a satellite, slipping the ball through the hands of Spanish goalkeeper Patricia Herrera into the top left on zero seconds for a 6-2 margin going into the final period. Knox converted extra for 7-2 at 3:09 and the writing was on the wall. Spain gained a penalty when Hannah Buckling went for her third major and Tarrago, so often the heroine this tournament, had her shot blocked by Kelsey Wakefield. Down the other end, Keesja Gofers made the most of some confusion to lob Herrera at 0:26 for the 8-2 scoreline and a gold-medal-final berth.

CHINA: Jun Yang, Jing Zhang (1), Ping Liu, Yujun Sun (2), Huili Chen, Yating Sun, Donglun Song (2), Cong Zhang, Zihan Zhao (3), Jianing Tian, Xinyan Wang, Guannan Niu, Lin Peng. Head Coach: Rick Azevedo.

Wow Zhao! Zihan Zhao did the unthinkable and won the quarterfinal match for China in the dying minute to advance to Saturday’s semifinals. China dominated throughout, but Hungary was not to be denied and two quick goals in the last three minutes had the match at 7-6 and the result in the balance. When Hungary had what looked like a certain goal blocked by a defender, China advanced up the field and the ball became stranded with Zhao wide on the right. She was looking everywhere to pass and it was obvious the centre forward wanted it. So much so that the Hungarian goalkeeper moved towards the hole position and Zhao squeeked the ball in from an acute angle from the sideline. It was 8-6 at 0:42 and Hungary’s last attempt was blocked, giving China the match. Hungary opened the match at the five-minute mark, such was the tight defence. Eight minutes later China was 4-1 up. China went to 6-3 and 7-4 in a period where the extra-man chances for China were denied by Hungary who dropped two players into the cage. All this did was to allow China to score after the extra-man period. In fact, six came in this manner, meaning China really had seven from 12 attempts. Hungary changed the tactic and it was more effective. Hungary was gutted when it had three shots from point blocked at the five-four-minute mark. Barbara Bujke did her best attempt yet at centre forward only for Yang Jun to clock. Hannah Kisteleki had her counter-attack attempt also blocked by Jun and then Bujke was denied again off a cross pass on extra. It was not Hungary’s day.
Spain (1A) vs. South Africa (4B) 12-2 (2-0, 3-0, 3-0, 4-2) - game 15
SPAIN: Patricia Herrera, Marta Bach, Anna Espar (1), Beatriz Ortiz, Matilde Ortiz (2), Helena Lloret (2), Clara Espar, Lorena Miranda (1), Mar Pastor, Roser Tarrago (3), Paula Chillida, Laura Vicente (3), Maria Sanchez. Head Coach: Miguel Oca.
SOUTH AFRICA: Anke Jacobs, Amica Hallendorf, Kieren Paley, Kim Rosslee, Carly Wessels, Samantha Shead (1), Chloe Bradley, Lee-Ann Keet, Christy Rawstrom (1), Megan Parkes, Deborah O’Hanlon, Kelsey White, Rebecca Thomas. Head Coach: Brad Rowe.
pain moved into the semifinals with a comfortable win over South Africa, a team with two players probably out for the tournament with a broken nose (captain Kelsey White) and concussion (Kieren Paley) respectively while a third injured player, goalkeeper Anke Jacobs, returned to play today. White and Paley sat on the bench. It was the best performance by South Africa against the world and European champion team playing consistent water polo and saving a lot of energy for the semifinals and beyond. The stout resistance by South Africa and its constant long shots were a good progression in this tournament. Spain scored twice from the penalty line in the final quarter and made the most of extra-man offence tactics. Roser Tarrago continued to impress with her all-round play and three goals took her tally for the week to 15. For South Africa, Christy Rawstrom from the top just creasing the cross bar and Samantha Shead with an excellent centre-forward-turning goal, gave some joy in the final quarter. Spanish head coach Miki Oca was happy with the result: “We’re now in the semifinal,” he said.
Singapore (4A) vs. USA (1B) 0-24 (0-8, 0-7, 0-5, 0-4) - game 16
SINGAPORE: Seet Low, Ting Koh, Su-Lynn Tan, Enci Kan, Adelyn Yew, Angeline Teo, Ser Han Neo, Lynette Tan, Yiwen Ng, Denise Chen, En Yuan Loke, Cheng Ong, Eunice Fu. Head Coach: Luo Nan.

Olympic and world champion USA marched into the semifinals with a resounding victory over Singapore. USA used its full team and played hard the entire match, showing that Singapore had improved considerably since earlier in the week. Much can be said of USA’s sharpness and swift tactics, which proved too hard to overcome for Singapore. To its credit, Singapore defended stoutly, but trying to control a powerful centre forward like Kameryn Craig proved almost impossible. The accuracy of the USA shooting from the top and the speed off the catch will prove valuable for the next two days as it attempts to go back to back in this competition after Christchurch. The pool in which USA won the title was destroyed in the devastating earthquake just a week later and the entire QEII complex has since been demolished.
Russia (3A) vs. Australia (2B) 8-10 (2-2, 2-3, 2-3, 2-2) - game 14
RUSSIA: Evgeniia Novoksenova, Maria Bersneva, Ekaterina Prokofyeva, Elvina Karimova (2), Valeriia Kolmakova (1), Olga Koryakina, Nadezhda Iarondaykina (2), Maria Borisova (1), Anna Kravchenko, Anna Grineva, Evgeniya Ivanova (1), Daria Ryzhkova (1). Anna Karnaukh. Head Coach: Mikhail Nakoriakov.
AUSTRALIA: Lilian Hedges, Jayde Appel, Hannah Buckling, Bronte Colenso, Isobel Bishop, Bronwen Knox, Rowie Webster (6), Glencora McGhie, Zoe Arancini (1), Ashleigh Southern (2), Morgan Baxter, Keesja Gofers (1), Kelsey Wakefield. Head Coach: Greg McFadden.
The Webster factor proved the downfall of Russia with the powerful shooter sending in six goals to be the standout player for the Aussie Stingers and send the team through to a semifinal clash with world champion Spain on Saturday. Russia had to play catch-up and this it did, coming back four times at 1-1, 3-3, 6-6 and crucially 8-8 at 5:43 in the final quarter. Australia did a number on Russia’s star and captain Ekaterina Prokofyeva, keeping her off the scoresheet, something that proved critical. Webster may have been finishing off, but Glencora McGhie played her heart out on Prokofyeva. Australian captain Bronwen Knox was strong at centre forward and centre back as her team also had to come back, levelling at 2-2 late in the first and 4-4 in the second quarter. Nadezhda Iarondaykina, a sensation at this tournament, kept the huge crowd happy with two quick goals early in the fourth period to level the match. But, it was Webster who received an inside pass from Knox to lob for 9-8. Both teams took timeouts near the end of the match with Australia taking the second and Webster’s first shot rebounding to Ashleigh Southern, who scored what proved to be the winner on extra-man attack at 0:59. Russia had the ball stolen and Australia wasted time, giving no chance for Russia to get one back. Australia head coach Greg McFadden said: “We were kind of comfortable at times, but then made silly mistakes at crucial times and Russia’s counter-attack proved dangerous. We couldn’t find consistency. However, to come away with a win against the home side at home is fantastic. I’m pretty pleased. Rowie (Webster) played a blinder.”

Schedule and results
Thursday, 14 August
Hungary vs. USA 10-15 (2-4, 1-3, 4-5, 3-3)
HUNGARY: Orsolya Kaso, Dora Czigany, Dora Antal, Hannah Kisteleki (5), Gabriella Szucs (1), Orsolya Takacs (1), Anna Illes, Rita Keszthelyi (2), Ildiko Toth, Barbara Bujka, Anita Hevesi, Kata Menczinger (1), Edina Gangl. Head Coach: Andras Meresz.
USA: Samantha Hill, Alys Williams, Melissa Seidemann (1), Rachel Fattal (2), Caroline Clark, Maggie Steffens (3), Courtney Mathewson (1), Kiley Neushul (2), Jillian Kraus, Kaleigh Gilchrist (1), Annike Dries (2), Kameryn Craig (3), Ashleigh Johnson. Head Coach: Adam Krikorian.
United States of America made it three straight wins with a controlled and quality effort against Hungary, who ended in third place in the group. Hungary may have opened the scoring, but the USA was soon on top with two snappy goals inside the first two minutes. Dora Kisteleki scored on counter and the match promised much at 2-2. Mel Seidemann responded from the top and nearly three minutes later Rachel Fattal also scored on counter for a healthy 4-2 margin at the quarter. USA then powered away with three goals in 76 seconds for a 7-2 margin early in the second quarter. To Hungary’s credit, it staunched the flow of USA goals and added a third through Rita Keszthelyi from the penalty line. That was 5:13 and no more goals were to come until 6:32 in the third when Maggie Steffens scored her second for 8-3. The score progressed to 8-5 and 10-6 before USA took the game to a six-goal margin when Kaleigh Gilchrist lobbed the goalie. Kisteleki kept Hungary within striking distance with the next four goals for her country, but at 14-10 at 2:05, the cause was lost. Dora Antal spent some time out of the water nursing ice to her face, but returned later in the match.
Australia vs. South Africa 20-2 (4-0, 5-1, 5-0, 6-1)
AUSTRALIA: Lilian Hedges, Jayde Appel (2), Hannah Buckling (2), Bronte Colenso, Isobel Bishop (1), Bronwen Knox (2), Rowie Webster, Glencora McGhie (3), Zoe Arancini (2), Ashleigh Southern (3), Morgan Baxter (3), Keesja Gofers (2), Kelsey Wakefield. Head Coach: Greg McFadden.
SOUTH AFRICA: Anke Jacobs, Amica Hallendorf, Kieren Paley (1), Kim Rosslee, Carly Wessels (1), Samantha Shead, Chloe Bradley, Lee-Ann Keet, Christy Rawstrom, Megan Parkes, Deborah O’Hanlon, Kelsey White. Rebecca Thomas. Head Coach: Brad Rowe.
Australia did what was expected of it and that was to win. Australia did not need to pile in the goals to claim second spot in the group, and used all players effectively. International newcomer Morgan Baxter scored three of the Aussie Stingers’ first 10 goals with one from the penalty line. Kieren Paley grabbed South Africa’s first goal at 5-1 early in the second period. Paley was dragged from the water at 2:45 in the third period, leaving the team two short. Her head made contact with an opponent while under water and she suffered possible concussion, limiting her chances of playing the rest of the tournament. Her parents, who were in the stands, were the only supporters who travelled from South Africa. South Africa also had to play without star Kelsey White, who suffered a broken nose during an altercation against Hungary the day before. She left the pool at the six-minute mark of the first quarter and will play no further part in the tournament, requiring possible surgery when she returns to South Africa. Her absence from the pool greatly hurt the South African mix. However, she did present for the match and sat the whole time on the bench. Goalkeeper Anke Jacobs was also rested after suffering a neck injury in training in the morning. Carly Wessels netted South Africa’s second goal at 17-2 a little more than three minutes from the end. Australia eased out to 20-2.
China vs. Singapore 22-1 (5-0, 7-0, 5-0, 5-1)
CHINA: Jun Yang, Jing Zhang (4), Ping Liu, Yujun Sun (2), Huili Chen (2), Yating Sun (2), Donglun Song (1), Cong Zhang (2), Zihan Zhao (1), Jianing Tian (3), Xinyan Wang (2), Guannan Niu (1), Lin Peng. Head Coach: Rick Azevedo (USA).
SINGAPORE: Seet Low, Ting Koh, Su-Lynn Tan, Enci Kan, Adelyn Yew, Angeline Teo, Ser Han Neo, Lynette Tan, Yiwen Ng, Denise Chen, En Yuan Loke (1), Cheng Ong, Eunice Fu. Head Coach: Luo Nan.
China secured second place in the group with head coach Rick Azevedo not needing to press and score at will against a team learning the ropes at the international level. New Zealand was to have been in Khanty-Mansiysk as the Oceania representative, but declined and, on rotation as is done in these cases, Asia gained the spot with Singapore answering the call. China took the opportunity to use newcomers of its own to get as much time in the water as possible as the competition now reaches the crucial stage. Singapore’s sole goal came in the final quarter, thanks to En Yuan Loke. The foul count was the lowest of the tournament with just two majors recorded.
Russia vs. Spain 7-6 (2-1, 1-1, 2-2, 2-2)
RUSSIA: Evgeniia Novoksenova, Maria Bersneva, Ekaterina Prokofyeva (2), Elvina Karimova, Valeriia Kolmakova, Olga Koryakina, Nadezhda Iarondaykina (1), Maria Borisova (2), Anna Kravchenko (1), Anna Grineva, Evgeniya Ivanova (1), Daria Ryzhkova. Anna Karnaukh. Head Coach: Mikhail Nakoriakov.
SPAIN: Patricia Herrera, Marta Bach, Anna Espar (3), Beatriz Ortiz, Matilde Ortiz, Helena Lloret, Clara Espar, Lorena Miranda, Mar Pastor, Roser Tarrago (3), Paula Chillida, Laura Vicente, Maria Sanchez. Head Coach: Miguel Oca.
In a quality match where all the best players from Spain and Russia stepped up, there could be only one winner and that was the host nation, coming from 6-5 down with 5:28 left on the clock. It forced a three-way tie in the group and after the officials deliberated, Spain still won the group with a +6 goal differential to Russia’s 0. China beat Russia on day one so China was second and Russia third. Russia started strongly through Evgeniya Ivanova and Spain had the chance to equalise through penalty via Rosa Tarrago. However, she had the shot stopped and made amends some time later. Russia took a timeout with nine seconds left and Ekaterina Prokofyeva lobbed as the buzzer sounded for 2-1. Ivanova took it to 3-2 on counter with two passes across the three-metre line. Tarrago gained her second for the last scoring of the half. Maria Borisova scored from deep left on extra for 4-2, much to the pleasure of the capacity crowd. Spain then went to the penalty line twice with Tarrago, for her third and 12th for the week and Anna Espar to level at 4-4. Russia was not to be denied and Prokofyeva, already a youth world champion in this pool, sent in a low-flying missile from the top for 5-4. A Spanish timeout at 1.27 was not rewarded and Russia had the crucial numbers at the final break. Anna Espar provided more impetus to her world and European champion team-mates when she scored twice in just over half a minute, first on a short drive and then with a penalty goal, drawn by centre forward Paula Chillida. The score was 6-5 to Spain at 5:28. Borisova scored from her favourite deep-left position and more than a minute later the Russian elation returned in gusto with Anna Kravchenko steering one in off the post. Russia was 7-6 ahead and Spain’s forays down the pool were being blocked. Spain’s last chance came and went when the last-gasp shot was half-hearted. Russia regained the ball, called a timeout at 0:19, stifling any chance Spain had of a draw. Time was wasted and there was no repeat of day one when Russia gave away victory to China.

Spain beats China, USA tops Australia - FINA World Cup day 2
| | | Wednesday 13 August 2014, 12:46 | | | Tim Hartog |
Two matches stood out in the current 2014 women's World Cup second day of competition in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia as Spain kicked off action playing China while USA and Australia took center stage later on Wednesday. Recent European champions and reigning world champions Spain made sure their match-up with China was not to be close, at all. After a 2-1 score at quarter-time the Miki Oca coach side, short of no less than 7 gold medallists in Budapest late July, simply took over and walked away from the fellow young squad of China who conceded a total of 12 goals while scoring just 5 as they fell to Spain by 7 after their 13-14 win over Russia just yesterday. In the day's second match it was Hungary who dominated South Africa. The African representatives were held scoreless in the second half as they suffered a 25-3 defeat, mainly thanks to Rita Keszthelyi and centre-forward Barbara Bujka who combined for 11 goals. As USA and Australia entered the pitch in the next encounter, two title candidates squared off. Despite the better star by the American women, the Aussie Stingers came back in it after quarter-time and a close match followed. The advantage however remained with Team USA as they held on to win 8-6. The long reply, over three minutes, from Australia who then trailed 8-5, ultimately denied a close finish as the Adam Krikorian coached side held its clean sheet. The dessert of the day, as usual more exciting for the home fans, turned out all but exciting. The young debuting squad from Singapore couldn't do much against the powerful Russian women who crushed their opponents allowing just two goals in a 35-2 onslaught to close out action on day 2 of the 2014 women's World Cup.

Spain gained a second consecutive win and now will face Russia to claim group supremacy on Thursday. Spain was all over a tired-looking China who lacked punch after a fantastic victory over Russia the night before. Spain had the better of the first half and went to 5-12 before China came into the match, much like the night before against Russia. It seemed that the Tuesday match took it out of the Chinese who struggled early and found it hard getting clean ball to the centre forwards. Roser Tarrago started as she left off with Tuesday’s seven goals, scoring the opener on the first attack. Anna Espar made it 2-0 soon after and inside the final minute of the quarter, Zihan Zhao converted extra-man attack. Anna Espar, Matilde Ortiz and Beatriz Ortiz quickly had the match at 5-1. China struck back twice in the last three minutes of the period to Tarrago’s one for 6-3. Anna Espar scored her third soon after the extra-man period had expired in the first minute of the second half. Chinese captain Yujun Sun from the top and Jing Zhang with a doughnut shot over the goalkeeper’s head on extra, brought the match to 7-5 by 4:29. Paula Chillida (ESP) drove to centre forward, spun on to her back, received the pass and scored for 8-5. Lorena Miranda steered a quick pass back behind her into goal for 9-5 on the next Spanish attack. It became worse for China when Beatriz Ortiz was left unattended on the deep right and a pass to her secured the 10th goal — three devastating attacks and a frustrated Rick Azevedo (USA) — the China head coach. The final extra-man attempt failed to help, as well. The final quarter produced no relief for China with few potent attacks. Luck was against it when both Spanish goals came off rebounds to free players. China now needs to regroup, beat Singapore on Thursday and finish second in the group.

Hungary gained its first win of the tournament with an easy march over South Africa. Playing without Ildiko Toth, who had a leg injury, Hungary strode through the match with plenty of counter-attack goals and swift passing on extra-man advantage. South Africa was adept at centre forward where its three goals came by three different players. South Africa also managed to make many steals, but it was the faster Hungarians, keen to make up for the loss to Australia on day one, who had the edge. Stand-in Hungarian coach Attila Janos Kelemen used his bench to excellent effect. Andras Meresz was stood down for a match after being red-carded the night before.

USA maintained its clean sheet and kept its World Cup defence on target with a well-constructed victory over Australia. USA had the answers while some Australian executions failed to come off. However, at 2-0 down there was no panicking, even when USA went 5-2 ahead with less than two minutes remaining in the first half. Rowena Webster made the difference for Australia, scoring the 3-2 goal in the second and then both Australia’s goals in the third as the game narrowed to 6-4. Rachel Fattal took her tournament tally to six goals, 14 seconds from time with a long shot that was deflected off a defender. Bronte Colenso narrowed it again two minutes into the final quarter, but Melissa Seidemann responded quickly for 8-5. It took nearly three minutes for the Aussie Stingers to reply through Keesja Gofers — trying to emulate her sister Taniele Gofers, who won a World Cup gold in 2006 — and there was still time, but both teams closed shop and USA was home with the second win.

On live television, this was going to be a hard ask for Singapore. It was just an outing for Russia ahead of tougher matches and the quarter-time scores show the vast difference in experience and skills. Russia used its bench and everyone had a scoring chance, especially in the first quarter when seven players made the sheet for the home crowd. The rout continued in the second quarter with Daria Ryzhkova scoring a consecutive three goals and Elvina Karimova netting two more for four in the half. She amassed eight goals in the match while many others produced probably some of their best international scoring. Singapore’s two goals came for 1-1 in the first minute via Adelyn Yew and the second at 34-2 through penalty by Cheng Ong.

First day http://www.ugramegasport.ru/
The program of the first competitive day was opened by a match between the national teams of Hungary and Australia.
To the first break the teams carried out five productive attacks, and overweight in one ball was on the account of Australians.
Water polo players from Eastern Europe managed to restore status quo at the beginning of the second period, however, their diligence were nullified right there by counterattack of competitors - 3:4. After that the starting impact of the national team of Australia ceased a little, and the game took place on counter courses. The excessive tranquility of Australians could lead to a capture of gate twice, but their defense and the goalkeeper played reliably. It should be noted; sportswomen of both teams with advantage for themselves used temporary calm, in the end of a game piece having exchanged goal attacks to gate. The whistle of the referee stopped game time at the score 4:5 in favor of water polo players in yellow-green bathing suits.
The national team of Hungary, as well as in the previous period, began the third eight-minute with a siege of gate of Australia. As on trouble, the referee excluded one of defender that helped the Hungarian water polo players to level a difference of the thrown goals again. Once their competitors got a ball, it once again was in a net of Hungarian Edina Gangl - 5:6. To trainer's staff of the national team of Hungary will be about what to think after a match as each counterattack of Australians was dangerous.
Hungary started rendering again a serious impact on opposite gate, over and over again loading with work the protective line and the goalkeeper of the national team of Australia. Probably, in a break the trainer introduced some amendments in the plan for the game or may be his wards began to throw more often then. The quantity turns sooner or later into quality, and to a break Hungarians managed to throw two answerless balls - 7:6.
Such situation in any way didn't suit the national team of Australia which sufficed one minute on start of the fourth period to break the meeting account in own favor. Both goal throws were similar as twin brothers and passed on a diagonal under the right crossbar of the gate - 7:8. The Hungarian water polo players, contrary to expectations, gradually gave an initiative to competitors, and rare attacks of gate had no already such sharpness and the greenish-yellow immediately used it. Two faster goal attacks of Australians took all questions off the table showing the winner in a match. The total account - 7:10 - and the first three tournament points go to a saving box of the national team of Australia.
From the second match of the first game day between the national teams of the USA and the Republic of South Africa it was hardly worth waiting for any intrigue. It was too different level at champions of the London Olympic Games and owners of an honorable 18th place in a world rating of the FINA. The master class from "star-spangled" began, once the referee created pressure in a whistle. Americans put pressure on all sites of a platform and practically deprived of South Africans of access to a ball. In one and a half minutes of the first period the account was opened by Kameryn Craig, shot from a near distance of the goalkeeper of the Republic of South Africa. In few minutes Alice Williams differed. The third answerless goal in Cortney Mathewson's personal offset. After the timeout appointed at the request of the coach of South African national team, his wards tried to organize a positional attack, but their trying to make the accented throw was in vain. Americans counterattacked, but the goalkeeper Rebecca Thomas rescued command from defeat in the first period.
On the second minute of the second period the South African water polo player too rigidly defended, for this reason she was excluded from a platform. No more than 20 seconds was needed the Americans to score a next goal. Then Kameryn Craig and Rachael Fattal issued on a double, having finished the account to 6:0. In an ending of a game piece the seventh goal was thrown by Melissa Seiemann, having powerfully punched a bottom. One more double was issued by Mathewson.
By the beginning of the third period the account on a scoreboard of representatives of South Africa remained zero, but Americans continued to increase advantage.
The overseas national team played excellent transfers over and over again, without allowing having a rest the goalkeeper of competitors. On the third minute of the third period the Africans take a timeout and, having listened to manuals of the trainer, strain to be in action. But couple of dangerous moments at gate of opponents poured out only in a throw in a crossbar.
The fourth period began with attacks of the Americans, but having intercepted a ball, the African sportswomen at last sent it precisely to the purpose – 15:1. Triumph was short, literally in some seconds the national team of the USA increases again the advantage, already to 16 scores. At the end of a final time span the team in yellow-green bathing suits takes the next timeout, but it doesn't bring results. It seemed that at the goalkeeper "star-spangled" Ashleigh Johnson is developed immunity to attacks of the opponent, and the goal scored by southerners, and remains only in this game – 18:1.
The third duel of the first competitive day inflamed between representatives of teams of Spain and Singapore.
Alignment of forces, as well as in the previous game, was difficult to call equal. The sportswomen who don't have awards of the international competitions were opposed to the acting world champions. The fighting spirit of Singaporeans on the first minute addressed for them as the violation of the rules, and their opponents used it having had a penalty opportunity, thereby having opened the account to the goals. Having caught spirit, Spanish national team sent to Eunice Karina Fu Yu Min’s gate two balls in a row. But the Singapore girls didn't even think to give up, and after the combination done with the greatest ease, Linnet Jane Tang Hui Ing sends a ball directly into the gate of competitors. Active actions of the Singapore sportswomen often were followed by a prefix "too much", that’s why the team received the second for the first period punishment.
Only a minute later after the whistle meaning the beginning of the second eight-minute, the Spanish team already managed to be marked out by the thrown ball, and literally in some seconds Helena Gomez Loret has increased advantage of the team to 9 balls. The 10th goal into the account was written down by Matilda Ortez, having powerfully punched the goalkeeper of competitors. Rare sorties of Singaporeans on a side of the opponent didn't bring any result as it was showed on a scoreboard after the second siren on a break – 15:1.
The third time span, as it was expected, passed from dictation of Spanish national team which only increased the advantage over and over again without making for this purpose special effort. Having collected will in a fist, Singaporeans managed to win back only one ball, having scored it into the gate of Maria Elena Sanchez Gonsalez in a final time span. The Spanish team, in turn, could oppose to competitors 34 goals – 34:2, the result as a consequence.
Plácido debut de España ante Singapur (34—3)
12/08/2014 - España ha vencido por 34—3 a Singapur en un plácido debut en la Copa del Mundo FINA de Waterpolo Femenino que ha comenzado este martes en Khanty—Mansiysk (Rusia) en choque correspondiente al Grupo A del torneo.

Russia lost the final match in a gripping 14-13 encounter with China to end the day in front of a capacity house — there was a large screen outside the venue. Russian fans were not rejoicing.

In Group B, Australia gained the better of Hungary, winning 10-7 with a 4-0 final quarter in a match that saw both head coaches censured with Hungary’s Andras Meresz being red-carded in the final seconds. Australia was the silver medallist in Christchurch four years ago while Hungary finished sixth. United States of America warmed up its defence of the trophy with a comfortable 18-1 victory over South Africa, playing this event for the first time.

Australia needed a 4-0 final quarter to shrug off Hungary and take the opening win, in a match where Hungarian head coach Andras Meresz was red-carded 3.4 seconds from fulltime for comments to the referee. At the end of the second quarter, Australian head coach Greg McFadden received a yellow card.
Australia had the better of the first quarter of the tournament with Hungary playing catch-up. The teams traded penalty goals and Ashleigh Southern sent in a 10m lob at the ended of possession for 2-1. The teams then each scored an extra-man goal with Australia’s 3-2 lead coming off international newcomer Morgan Baxter from deep right with four seconds left. Australia maintained the one-goal advantage by the long break as Gabriella Szucs equalised on action and Aussie Stingers captain Bronwen Knox, playing her 277th international, netted twice — from centre forward and deep left. Rita Keszthelyi set the pool alight with a counter-attack down the right for 5-4 two minutes from the half. Hannah Kisteleki levelled on the first attack of the second half and more than a minute later Knox showed her skills at two metres with a third strike for 6-5. Dora Antal and Keszthelyi gave Hungary the advantage to go into the final period looking much better. The goals dried up for Hungary, however, with Hannah Buckling with a slider, Keesja Gofers after the extra-man attack bringing Australia back in front. Webster closed the match with two successive goals, one a 10m lob and the last three seconds from time for 10-7.

South Africa was always going to struggle against the Olympic, World Cup and World League champion USA, but the occasion did not over-awe the southern hemisphere team. USA was always in control and proved that all over the pool, especially at the daunted centre-forward position where USA always dominates. Coach Adam Krikorian used all his team to excellent effect and most of the field players made the score sheet. The start was hesitant at both ends of the pool as the teams were mindful of what the match meant. For South Africa it was a case of trying to get away effective shots, something that did not occur in the opening half. However, persistence paid off and Deborah O’Hanlon raised the cheers of the crowd when scoring on extra-man attack at 6:46 in the fourth for 15-1. USA did what it does best and continued at the same elevated pace until the final whistle with an 18-1 margin. It was a case of first assignment achieved for USA.

European champion Spain made sure of a good start to the tournament with a solid victory over Singapore, a relative newcomer to the international arena. Spain put pressure on the Singaporeans and jumped on loose balls, made a multitude of steals and countered at will. To Singapore’s credit, it worked hard on attack and scored on extra-man attack at 3-1 via Lynette Tan, much to the delight of the bench. Spain may be trying new players and be without superstar Jennifer Pareja, but it still had the defensive and offensive skills that will be sorely needed as the tournament goes deeper into the week. Singapore found out what it is like to contest a match against a team probably still celebrating the European crown from Budapest barely a week ago. However, even at the death when the score was piling up, Singapore still managed two goals in the final quarter while Roser Tarrago (7) and Clara Espar (6) were in fine form for Spain.

The final match of the evening, following the official opening, attracted a packed house and the mood was entirely Russian. However, in the most thrilling match of the day, if not the year at FINA events, China held sway. The crowd was buoyed by the fact that Russia had all the attack in the opening quarter and led 4-0 before China hit the board two seconds from quarter time. Russia went to 6-1 before China settled, grabbed one back before Elvina Karimova took the score and the crowd to 7-2. Chinese head coach Rick Azevedo (USA) called a timeout and whatever he said via the translator, worked. Yujun Sun netted twice in a five-goal onslaught that dulled the spectator’s fervor and had the match at 7-7, 25 seconds from halftime. Those five goals came in just over four minutes. With Russian captain Ekaterina Prokofyeva and head coach Mikhail Nakoriakov returning from that 2009 FINA youth girls’ championship victory in the same pool, it was meant to be a Russian sweep. However, China was well in the match. Prokofyeva converted a penalty to start the second half, Sun Yating replied for 8-8 and then Russia made the movement it was after, through Prokofyeva and Nadezhda Iarondaykina for 9-8. Jing Zhang equalised through penalty for 9-9 at the final break. Prokofyeva took Russia to 11-10 and Ping Liu from the top and Zihan Zhao on penalty took China to 12-11. Valeriia Kolmakova replied, Sun Yujun responded and Prokofyeva had the match at 13-13 at 2:06. Russia took a timeout to no effect and at 0:30 Yating Sun scored a classic centre-forward backhand to seal the match. Russia lost the ball on the next attack and China retained the ball, silencing the now-dejected crowd.

A a las 15,00h nos hemos trasladado en minibuses a la instalación dónde mañana lunes dará inicio la competición.
Hemos visitado el complejo.
Cómo es habitual, previa entrega de acreditaciones, hemos tenido el Technical Meeting dónde en la parte reservada a los árbitros, se ha marcado el criterio de aplicación del reglamento que ha sido una reiteración de lo que se nos comentó en el Europeo de Budapest de hace escasos 15 días.
Hemos recibido las nominaciones para mañana martes. Mañano, junto al compañero brasileño, abrimos la competición con un HUN-AUS a las 14,30h (11,30h en Barcelona).
A modo de resumen sobre las instrucciones técnicas, destacar :
- No permitir el juego con 2 manos en alto.
- Ser riguroso con las protestas.
- No permitir y sancionar las simulaciones.
- Señalar las faltas sencillas o graves en función de lo que el atacante produce. No premiar con falta sencilla si el atacante no pierde a ventaja.
- Señalar penalti con el atacante dentro de 5m encarado a portería y con intención de acabar la jugada.
- Utilización del silbato.
- Señalar contrafalta en jugadas dónde realmente el atacante obtenga ventaja de su acción.
En este Campeonato cómo ya ocurrió en el Europeo de Budapest, los Delegados, finalizado el partido no harán comentarios u observaciones sobre el arbitraje. Cada dos días o tan pronto sea necesario, se nos convocará a Technicals Meeting para comentar lo que vaya sucediendo.
USA up for back-to-back World Cup titles
| | | Monday 11 August 2014, 07:39 | | | Tim Hartog |
A 'repeat' was last achieved back in 1999. The USA women will be up for it this week in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia as they try to win a second straight FINA World Cup coming in as defending champions from the 2010 edition in Christchurch, New Zealand. The last team to do so was the Netherlands who won the editions of 1997 en 1999 but made an even more impressive run from 1983 through 1993 winning all World Cups thus leading the overall medal ranking with 8 golds. The first and last winners however are the United States. Four years ago the American women topped Hungary (10-5), China (9-10) and in the final Australia (6-3) to claim what was just their second World Cup win after also ending up victorious in the inaugural edition in 1979 at home in Merced, California.
Now with Kami Craig, Annika Dries, Melissa Seidemann, Maggie Steffens and Courtney Mathewson the current roster holds five players that also won the gold in 2010. Team USA is certainly amongst the favorites but the recent World League winner will get fierce opposition from Australia, reigning world and European champion Spain (although with a significant different roster compared to the recent European championships in Budapest), Russia, China and Hungary. Outsiders Singapore and South Africa are up for a great experience in a field full of the world's top teams. The World Cup is always an interesting tournament considering the qualification berths for next tournaments that are usually available. No difference this time as four spots to qualify for next year's World Championships in Kazan, Russia are up for grabs. And as USA is already qualified being the World League winner, this World Cup top 5 will earn a spot at the 2015 worlds if USA finishes with the first four this week in Khanty-Mansiysk.

España encara la Copa del Mundo dispuesta a hacer un buen papel (Mundo Deportivo)
Ceuta, 10 ago (EFE).- La waterpolista Lorena Miranda, una de las integrantes de la selección nacional de waterpolo, espera que España haga un buen papel en la Copa del Mundo que se inicia el martes en Rusia, a pesar de que el combinado nacional ha sufrido una importante renovación.
En declaraciones a Efe, antes de viajar hasta Rusia, Lorena Miranda (Ceuta, 1991) ha explicado que el equipo afronta este torneo con la intención de "dar el máximo posible, como siempre", a pesar de que sólo hay seis jugadoras de las que conquistaron el Campeonato de Europa en Budapest.
"El seleccionador le ha dado una oportunidad a gente joven que está con muchas ganas y esperamos hacer un buen papel aunque los rivales son difíciles", ha comentado la defensora de boya.
Lorena Miranda dice que España afronta esta Copa del Mundo con la "filosofía de costumbre" en el sentido de "dar el máximo en cada partido".
Según informa hoy la web de la Federación Española de Natación, la selección ya está en Khanty-Mansiysk, donde iniciará el martes su nuevo gran reto.
El conjunto de Miki Oca, que tendrá en esta ocasión el apoyo del entrenador del CN Terrassa, Xavi Pérez, viaja con sólo seis de las campeonas europeas y mundiales, y se estrenará en un grupo en el que se medirá a Singapur, Rusia y la última medalla de bronce de la competición en 2010, China.
España opta a sumar un nuevo éxito en un torneo que se disputa cada cuatro años y que reúne a las tres mejores selecciones del último mundial más las cuatro campeonas continentales y el equipo anfitrión.
Será una competición de apenas seis días de duración, sin jornadas de descanso, con inicio previsto el martes y donde España podrían volver a encontrarse en situación competitiva con huesos de gran calibre, como Estados Unidos o Australia, encuadradas en este caso en el Grupo B.
De hecho, las norteamericanas fueron las ganadoras de la edición de 2010, en la que batieron a las australianas, anteriores campeonas.
España, que ha quedado encuadrada en el Grupo A junto a la anfitriona, Rusia, a la medallista de bronce en 2010, China, y a Singapur, viajó el sábado a Rusia con una delegación formada por sólo seis jugadoras presentes en el último Europeo y el pasado Mundial.
Se trata de Marta Bach, Anni Espar, Patri Herrera, Lorena Miranda, Mati Ortiz y Roser Tarragó. Este sexteto de 'veteranas' lo complementarán siete jugadoras que ya estuvieron preparando el Europeo de Barcelona junto al grupo de entrenamiento absoluto, entre las cuales resalta la máxima goleadora del pasado campeonato en División de Honor, Helena Lloret, o la jovencísima Bea Ortiz, que se estrena en un torneo absoluto como benjamina del equipo (nació en 1995).
También estarán Paula Chillida, Clara Espar, Mar Pastor, Elena Sánchez y Laura Vicente.
El cuerpo técnico lo capitaneará Miki Oca, que ha dado descanso a sus habituales e inseparables acompañantes en el banquillo, Jordi Valls y Claudio Camarena, para viajar junto a Xavi Pérez, técnico del CN Terrassa.
