The United States crushed Spain 14-5 on Saturday to win their third straight Olympic gold medal in women's water polo, confirming their status as the world's dominant team.

Spain settled for silver and Hungary took bronze with a gritty 11-9 win over the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team.

The U.S., champions at London 2012 and Rio 2016, completed their "threepeat" with characteristic ruthlessness, blowing away the Spanish team, the European champions.
