Rio de Janeiro Olympic gold medalists Kosuke Hagino and Rie Kaneto shared the top prize for their achievements in 2016 from the Japan Swimming Federation at the annual Japan Aquatic Awards on Monday evening.
Hagino captured the gold medal in the men's 400-meter individual medley and added a silver medal in the 200-meter individual medley and a bronze medal in the 4x200 freestyle relay in Brazil.
Winning three Olympic medals was undoubtedly a great achievement, but Japan's ace didn't necessarily have a perfect year.
