Irvine, CA - June 3 - USA Water Polo Women's National Team Head Coach Adam Krikorian shared his thoughts on moving the team nominee announcement for the U.S. Olympic Women's Water Polo Team to June 23.
"Our experience over the last 14
months, not to mention this entire journey, has been unarguably unique. We have had to manage through consistent
change and seemingly relentless uncertainty.
Today is no different.
Following certain traditions, our
hope and plan was that June 3rd would be the day in which we could publically
and confidently announce the selection of the 2021 Olympic Team. However, it has become abundantly clear over
the last 3 weeks that our hope is not a reality. Making decisions that are best for the team
has always been paramount, therefore, we will be postponing the announcement
until June 23rd.
After a 453 day stretch in which we
were void of any official games, we have finally been able to compete against
someone other than ourselves welcoming Canada and Hungary. Now we look forward
to training in Spain next week and then competing in the FINA World League
Super Final in Athens, Greece (June 14-19).
The knowledge (and joy) gained over the last two weeks and the lessons
that we will continue to learn during our first travel trip in 15 months are
essential pieces to this puzzle. Through
it all, we have preached the importance of resilience, mental flexibility, and
adaptability. Those values will continue to stand tall for this team throughout
the completion of the Games. We
appreciate your support and understanding."
The 13 nominees to the U.S. Olympic
Women's Water Polo Team will be announced at 11am on June 23 in Los Angeles, CA
at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. Media interested in attending can RSVP by
