Dear Editor,
The Los Alamitos City Council and the City of Los Alamitos, home to the best Women’s Olympic Water Polo team in the world, proudly congratulate the U.S.A. Women’s Olympic Water Polo team who made history as the first women’s team to win back-to-back gold medals at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Women’s water polo is also the first team gold for the U.S. in the Rio Games.
Los Alamitos has been home to the USA Women’s Water Polo Team since 1998. The collaboration between the City of Los Alamitos, USA Water Polo, and the Joint Forces Training Base has proven to be very successful over the years. The U.S. has now won a medal in all five Olympics that women have played water polo. When Women’s Water Polo competition was first introduced as an Olympic sport in 2000, Team USA won their first Silver Medal. Over the next two Olympics, the women brought home the Bronze in 2004, Silver in 2008, and finally, a Gold in 2012!
Congratulations, USA Women’s Olympic Water Polo Team!
