World champions the United States began their quest for a third straight Olympic gold medal in women's water polo by storming into the record books with a 25-4 humbling of hosts Japan at the Tatsumi Water Polo Centre on Saturday.

"We're human, and we get nervous just like everyone else," U.S. coach Adam Krikorian said in response to a question on his team's slow start.
