Jenna's Story

Jenna Santoromito won a bronze medal for Australia in women’s water polo in 2008, competing alongside her sister Mia. The Santoromitos were one of two sets of sisters represented – Kate Gynther, Melissa Rippon and Rebecca Rippon are also sisters. The Aussies enjoyed a pressure-packed Olympics. Of its six matches, one was decided by two goals, four by a single goal and the other one was tied. The bronze medal final against Hungary was decided in a penalty shoot-out, the final score being 12-11.
