Talk:Water polo at the 2024 Summer Olympics

Have the rosters been expanded up to 13 athletes?

edit

There are multiple sources that indicate that water polo rosters might have been expanded up to 13 athletes (with no AP). This info was already shared via Instagram some time ago, but as long as World Aquatics did not release any official statement, it has been overlooked.

However the rosters announced until now include 13 athletes and no comment about reserves or Ap are there:

Example: the roster tracker of WA itself: https://www.worldaquatics.com/news/4029794/roster-tracker-women-water-polo-paris-2024-olympic-games-player-team-country As well as the links provided to the sources.

Also the national Olympic comittees are listing 13 athletes in their websites:

COE (in Spanish): https://www.coe.es/clasificados-paris-2024/ CONI (in Italian): https://parigi2024.coni.it/it/

Could it be possible to verify if the rosters have been indeed expanded up to 13 athletes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anggelito (talkcontribs) 20:55, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Its possible they are including the AP athlete in the numbers. The qualification system shows 12 athletes and until we get a source saying teams are 13 per, we need to stick with what the qualification system says imo. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:53, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Here there is a source in Spanish explaining the agreement to send 13 players to all the Olympic matches, so none is an AP: https://www.mundodeportivo.com/waterpolo/20240104/1002163977/cambio-cuota-final-juegos-olimpicos-13-jugadores-total-equipo.html Anggelito (talk) 08:34, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
