Name: Anni Espar
Country: Spain
Event: Women's Water Polo
Espar is headed to her second Olympics, carrying Spain to a silver medal at London 2012 as a 19-year-old. She scored 15 goals, second most in the tournament, to earn a spot on the Olympic All-Star Team and be named European Water Polo Player of the Year.
Since then, she scored the game-winning goal for USC women's water polo in the 2013 NCAA Championship Match and then pushed her country to gold at the 2013 FINA World Championships. She followed that up by winning the 2014 European Championships.
Spain will likely be in contention for a medal again after finishing second to Team USA at the 2016 FINA World League in June.
