Splashback: One year ago today on August 11, 2016, a handful of Olympic rookies brought home gold for their respective countries.<\/p>\n

While Simone Manuel<\/strong> (USA) and Penny Oleksiak<\/strong>‘s (CAN) 100 freestyle tie was the talk of the evening, Ryan Murphy<\/strong>‘s efforts in the 200 back for the United States were just as meaningful. And while it was not yet the final, Singapore star Joseph Schooling<\/strong> made a statement\u00a0in the 100 butterfly semis with a world-leading time.\u00a0Rie Kaneto\u00a0<\/strong>of Japan, not quite an Olympic rookie, did win her first Olympic medal by winning the 200 breaststroke in 2:20.30.<\/p>\n

Oh… and Michael Phelps<\/strong> won his 22nd Olympic gold medal, too.<\/p>\n

Swimming World<\/em>\u00a0is recounting all the highlights from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games\u00a0through a series of Splashbacks. Memories from\u00a0August 8<\/a>, 9<\/a> and 10<\/a> are also available.<\/p>\n
