A last-gasp goal from Melania Grego in extra-time gave Italy the women's Olympic water polo title with a 10-9 win over hosts Greece last night.
It was Grego's third goal of the evening that clinched world number two Italy's only title missing from their collection.
It ended the dream run of the outsiders Greece, who had battled from the outset in front of a noisy home crowd at the Olympic Aquatic Centre with Kyriaki Liosi scoring five and Evangelia Moraitidou three.
