Stingers v Canada: Knox ready to make history as freshed faced Aussie Stingers ready for opening match
Published Sat 24 Jul 2021
Bronwen Knox is set to make Australian Olympic Team history today when she lines up in her fourth Olympic Games for the women’s Water Polo team, the first Australian female to do so.
The 35-year-old Queenslander already has two Olympic bronze medals and will now join a fresh-faced Aussie Stingers outfit as they embark on their own slice of Olympic history.
Among the veterans of the team will be triple Olympian and captain of the Aussie Stingers Rowie Webster, who will be charged with leading her side which features seven debutants.
It has been almost two years since the Aussie Stingers have played an international tournament, but as they prepare to take on Canada at 4:30pm (AEST) today (Saturday 24 July), Knox said the squad is ready.
“I am really excited to get back in the water and play an international game again, it has been a while and there was a stage where I wasn’t sure if I would play another international game because of everything, so I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do under the pressure,” said Knox.
