USA Swimming announced Wednesday the nominees for the 2016 Golden Goggle awards. The awards will be distributed at a ceremony Monday, Nov. 21 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City.
Unsurprisingly, Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky are the headliners on this year’s ballot. Phelps, who won five gold medals and one silver at the Olympics in Rio, is up for Male Athlete of the Year, Male Performance of the Year for his gold medal swims in both the 200 fly and 200 IM and Relay Performance of the Year for two of his relay swims from the Games, the men’s 400 free (with Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Held and Nathan Adrian) and 400 medley (with Ryan Murphy, Cody Miller and Adrian).
Ledecky, meanwhile, will be favored to win both Female Athlete of the Year and Female Performance of the Year for her gold medal swim in the 800 free in Rio—one of Ledecky’s four gold medals from that meet. She has won Athlete of the Year honors each of the last three years and Performance of the Year honors each year since 2012. Ledecky and teammates Allison Schmitt, Leah Smith and Maya DiRado were nominated for Relay Performance of the Year for their gold medal in the 800 free relay in Rio.
Other nominees for Athlete of the Year include DiRado and Simone Manuel on the women’s side, and Adrian, Murphy and Anthony Ervin for the men. All of these athletes won multiple gold medals this summer in Rio.
