The Canada water polo national teams have made steady progress since holding training camps last summer in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, according to Justin Oliveira, Water Polo Canada¡¯s high performance director.
In an interview with The Japan Times after the Pan American Games wrapped up last weekend in Lima, Peru, Oliveira said he¡¯s pleased with the general direction that Canada¡¯s men¡¯s and women¡¯s teams are headed in.
The Canadian women qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with a silver-medal finish, falling to the United States 24-4 in Saturday¡¯s finale. As a result, the team qualified for the Olympics for the first time since the 2004 Athens Games.
