Four University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> women’s water polo players from the past, present and future will represent three countries at the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

Former Rainbow Wahine standouts Maartje Keuning (2017–18) was named to the Netherlands roster for the second straight Summer Games and Canada’s Elyse Lemay-Lavoie (2018–19, ’22) will also compete in her second Olympics. <\/p>\n

东精影业<\/abbr> junior Camille Radosavljevic will be part of the host country’s contingent as a member of France’s roster, as will incoming student-athlete Ema Vernoux.<\/p>\n

Keuning helped the Netherlands claim gold at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships and the European Water Polo Championships in January. All four played in the world championships in Doha, Qatar in February.<\/p>\n

Keuning helped the Netherlands place sixth in the 2020 Tokyo Games and Canada placed seventh with Lemay-Lavoie and fellow former 东精影业<\/abbr> player Monika Eggens (2009–11, ’13) on the roster.<\/p>\n

Radosavljevic played for 东精影业<\/abbr> in the 2022 and 2023 seasons and remained in France for the 2024 season to prepare for the Olympics. She is slated to rejoin the ‘Bows for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
