With the
2024 Olympic Games one month away, the US Olympic men's and women's water polo
teams are hosting exhibition matches as a final tune-up before they leave for
Paris. Two of those matches will air LIVE on ESPNU and stream LIVE on the ESPN
app.
Tonight,
the US Olympic men's team will face world-power Spain at 10pm Eastern/7pm
Pacific LIVE from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California. The match will
mark the first of three-game series with Spain as Team USA stages its final
friendlies before the Paris Olympics. Greg Mescall will do play-by-play and US
Olympic women's head coach Adam Krikorian will give analysis. The event will
also celebrate the 1984 US Olympic men's water polo team on the 40th
anniversary of its silver-medal run in Los Angeles. At halftime, members of
that 1984 Olympic squad will be honored with flashbacks from Malibu shown
throughout the night.
Two weeks
later, Krikorian's women's team will be in the water as the 2020 Olympic
champions finish a four-game homestand against Hungary at the University of
California-Berkeley on July 9 at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific. Two-time Olympic
medalist Natalie Benson will join Mescall on-air to add her analysis from the
Spieker Aquatics Complex – site of the 2024 NCAA women's water polo
championship which also aired on ESPNU.
The US
women's Olympic roster was announced on May 30. The US men's team revealed its
Olympic squad on June 18.
