The Australian Women's Water Polo team suffered a narrow 8-9 loss to the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in the quarter-finals.
The Aussie Stingers pushed ROC for the entire 32 minutes, the match going down to the wire after an incredible save in goals from Olympic debutant Gabriella Palm.
Despite more than 18 months without any international water competition the Aussie Stingers have delivered an inspired performance throughout the Olympics.
While they trailed by two for most of the match, an uplift in the dying minutes provided a glimmer of hope for the Aussies.
