Photo Courtesy: Sherie Key\/USAWP<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Consistency was a recurring theme for Paradelo, who has been coaching for Water Polo Canada since 2010. His squad consists of veteran players such as <strong>Krystina Alogbo<\/strong> and Bekhazi \u2014 who have been staples of the national team for a decade \u2014 as well as <strong>Kyra Christmas<\/strong> and <strong>Axelle Crevier<\/strong>, both of whom are 22. The meshing of young and old is never easy, and the Canadian coach said that this is the biggest challenge for his club in the run up to Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpectations were to come here and work on what we have since the beginning of the year. Since last April it\u2019s been piece-by-piece,\u201d Paradelo said. \u201cRight now, we\u2019re not doing it consistently, so it\u2019s to make sure those things are consistent game-in-game out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, there are signs of measurable progress by the team, suggesting that Canadian hopes to rise above the program\u2019s current FINA ranking of eight are not unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>A tournament last weekend in Montreal saw China, the Netherlands and Russia join the U.S. and Canada in two days of round-robin play. The results were favorable for the host squad: a 2-2 record, including a huge win 11-10 win over a strong Dutch team, their first such win over the Netherlands in eight years. Also noteworthy; Canada was within four goals of it\u2019s more successful neighbor in a 10-6 loss that saw the home team tied at the half.<\/p>\n<h3>Respect earned in the pool<\/h3>\n<p>This week in Princeton has brought additional respect to a Canadian program that for more than a decade has been outside of the Olympic picture. A loss to Holland on Monday was followed Wednesday by another signature win, this time a by 12-9 over Italy, Canada\u2019s first win over the Italians in almost a decade.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/anywhere-anytime-the-u-s-womens-water-polo-team-wins-to-open-holiday-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Anywhere, Anytime: The U.S. Women Beat Russia In Opener of USA Water Polo Holiday Cup<\/em><\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>A win tonight against a Russian squad that has thus far gone winless (0-3) in Holiday Cup play will put the Canadians (1-2; 3 points) in Saturday\u2019s third-place match. Which is important; competition against some of the world&#8217;s top squads is beneficial, so more games is ideal. As Paradelo pointed out, having two weeks of back-to-back matches\u00a0 is\u00a0 similar to the Olympics schedule \u2014 and provides the benefit of game experience for all the practice time his players will put in between now and the Tokyo Games next July.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_319221\" style=\"width: 1033px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-319221\" data-attachment-id=\"319221\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/canada-wins-2018-uana-gold-over-brazil\/canada-celebrate-uana\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"canada-celebrate-uana\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;canada-celebrate-uana&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Don Utas&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-319221\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"canada-celebrate-uana\" width=\"1023\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana-533x355.jpg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/canada-celebrate-uana.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-319221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canada&#8217;s David Paradelo takes a victory plunge with Canadian Juniors in July 2018.
