On the evening of August 8, in the women's water polo final of the Chengdu Universiade, the Chinese team defeated the Italian team 7:12 and won the championship.
In this Universiade, the Chinese women's water polo team passed all the way and won the championship with a winning record. This competition is also the third time that the Chinese women's water polo team won the water polo championship at the World University Games after Belgrade in 2009 and Shenzhen in 2011.
After the game, Chinese women's water polo player Lu Yiwen told reporters that the Italian team has always been strong, so they did their homework before the game.

Because we also touched Italy in the group stage a few days. I have been watching the video these days and preparing for it, so we are still confident today. I think the audience in Chengdu is simply too enthusiastic, it can be said that our project is originally a niche project, and it is the first time that we feel so many audiences, and such enthusiasm also gives us a lot of confidence and support.
Team member Chen Xiao told reporters after the game that winning the championship is a very good start, and their goal in the next stage will be the champion of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
