The Australian women’s water polo team, affectionately dubbed the Stingers, captivated fans at the Paris 2024 Olympics with their remarkable journey through the tournament. After a rocky start that sent shockwaves through Aussie supporters, the team bounced back with resilience, swimming undefeated into the finals, ready to face off against Spain for the gold medal.
