The
Australian women's water polo team have claimed a slight psychological
advantage over the United States, taking gold in a friendly tournament in Rio.
Less than
nine months out from next year's Olympics in the Brazilian city, the Stingers -
who won bronze at the 2012 London Games - defeated the reigning Olympic gold
medallists 13-10 in a penalty shootout on Wednesday.
Australia
trailed 9-8 with 20 seconds to go, however a late goal sent the final of the
six-nation tournament into penalties.
Australia
then managed to land each of their four penalties, while the US could only net
once.
