As a sport of Hangzhou Asian Games, water polo combines the features of three major sports of swimming, handball and volleyball, and is highly demanding on strength, bravery and teamwork.

Athletes must be "floating" on the water throughout the game, and strive for goals on the rival's side for higher scores. Thus, thegame is known as the "water soccer".

Water polo is not a time-honored sport in China, but the Chinese team gave a good account of themselves in the history of the Asian Games, reaping a slew of gold medals. In the last three Asian Games, the Chinese women's water polo team always stood on the highest podium in the end.
