Finishing fourth in the world championships has stoked the fire for Australia's women's water polo team to return to the podium at this year's Paris Olympics, goalkeeper Gabi Palm says.
Australia clinched gold at the Sydney Olympics back in 2000, but their most recent medal, a bronze, came more than a decade ago at the London Games of 2012.
The Stingers were beaten 12-10 in the semi-finals at the world championships in Fukuoka in July, then lost the bronze medal play-off to Italy by the same margin.
