Russia women's national water polo team The Russia women's national water polo team represents Russia in international women's water polo competitions and friendly matches. The team is one of the leading teams in Europe since the mid-1990s.History Water polo in Russia dates back to 1910, when the sport was included into the national water sports programme. The Shuvalov school was opened back then, featuring rules that differed from the international rules. In 1913, the first water polo tournament was played between the Shuvalov school and Moscow , with the first winning 3–2. The new sport progressed in Russia, as all swimming organizations included this sport into their programme. P. Erofeev and A. Shemansky further populized water polo by publishing brochures with rules and hints.As previously, water polo was predominant in Moscow and Leningrad . However, this changed when the water polo teams of the Black Sea Fleet , Baltic Fleet and Caspian Flotilla further spread water polo in Russia. In the early history, water polo was popular especially among sailors. The strongest teams were Delfin of Leningrad and the Moscow Life Saving Society and the Yacht-Club. Following the resolution by the organizing bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1925, physical culture has been greatly propagated in Russia, stimulating water polo as well. The first championship took place in 1925. Apart from the teams of Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev , the tournament featured teams from the Caucasus , Crimea , Ural , as well as the aforementioned fleet teams. Three years later, water polo was included in the All-Union Spartakiade. The team of Leningrad dominated in Russian water polo until 1933, as the city had winter water pools and so had more training opportunities. In 1946, the USSR Water Polo Cup was introduced. One year later, the Soviet Union was selected into the FINA . The national water polo then debuted at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Helsinki.Results World Championship 1995 – 4th place 1997 – Silver medal 1999 – 7th place 2002 – 4th place 2006 – Bronze medal 2010 – 4th place 2014 – 6th place 2018 – Silver medal FINA World League 2004 – 4th place 2005 – Silver medal 2006 – Bronze medal 2007 – eliminated 2008 – Gold medal 2009 – 6th place 2010 – 4th place 2011 – 5th place 2012 – 5th place 2013 – Silver medal 2014 – 7th place 2015 – 5th place 2016 – 6th place 2017 – Bronze medal 2018 – Bronze medal Team Russia Roster for the 2020 Women's European Water Polo Championship .
