It's not every day you plough through 200 metres of water and end up with an Olympic medal around your neck.
That's exactly what happened to Sky Scholar Siobhan-Marie O'Connor during the summer, who missed out on gold by a finger tip in the 200m individual medley.
The career of the 20-year-old from Bath has been on a sharp incline since her relay medal at London 2012 when she made her Games debut as a nervy teenager.
In Rio the pressure was on. Her mum, dad and brother were pool side cheering on, but she stayed cool and delivered in a mighty fashion as she pushed Hungarian arch-rival Katinka Hosszu all the way.
During her dazzling stay in Brazil, Siobhan captured some of her magic moments - in and outside the arena.
