GWANGJU: Rarely does a 22-2 defeat seem like a watershed moment - but for South Korea's female water polo team their final world championship group game on Thursday felt like a moral victory.

But they scrapped like tigers against Canada under a golden sunset, holding out for over a minute in the first quarter before their beefier opponents found the net. South Korea only rustled up a team a month before the start of the competition, calling on former swimmers, with all but captain Oh Hee-ji still in their teens.

However, the Koreans have yet to have a catchy nickname bestowed upon them like the women's national curling team, who were christened the"Garlic Girls" by local media after melting hearts at last year's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
