Even in a post-Olympic year, the spotlight is still there on the swimming pool.
Teenage phenoms Kosuke Hagino and Akihiro Yamaguchi are Japan¡¯s latest stars in swimming, and are expected to lead ¡°Tobiuo Japan¡± for years to come.
Both received a lot of attention last year. Hagino won the bronze medal in the men¡¯s 400-meter individual medley at the London Games, and Yamaguchi, although he didn¡¯t go to Britain, broke the world record for the men¡¯s 200 breaststroke right after the Olympics. They accomplished those feats as high school seniors.
