Pereira earned the honor as the top male athlete from the Pan American Games, while Pini was awarded the top male athlete of the South Pacific Games.<\/p>\n<p>Pereira likely competed in his final Pan American Games last July, which was his fifth appearance at the meet that brings together athletes from the American continents and Caribbean nations. <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/thiago-pereira-owns-23-pan-american-games-medals\/ target=_blank>Pereira won five medals in Toronto<\/a> this year, bringing his career Pan American Games medal total to 23. That\u2019s the most any athlete in any sport has won, beating the former record of 22 by Cuban gymnast <strong>Erick Lopez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Though the award, recommended by Brazil\u2019s Olympic Committee, focused on Pereira\u2019s performances at the Pan American Games, Pereira also shined a few weeks later at the world championships. He won a silver medal in the 200 IM, his best performance in the meet across four long course worlds appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Pini has been largely out of the spotlight for a few years, but continues to shine for Papua New Guinea. A finalist in the 100 butterfly at the 2008 Olympics, Pini shined this year at the South Pacific Games in his native country, collecting seven gold medals among 11 total. Pini competed in the 50 and 100 butterfly events at the world championships in August, placing 30th overall in both races.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming had more star power at the awards ceremony, as Olympic champions <strong>Katie Ledecky, Kirsty Coventry<\/strong> and <strong>Ryan Lochte<\/strong> were on hand to present awards.<\/p>\n<p>The ANOC\u2019s meeting pushed the Olympic 2020 agenda, which sought to create a worldwide Olympic television channel, support a no-tolerance drug policy and improve governance in each nation\u2019s Olympic committees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full list of
