Rie Kaneto won gold in the women's 200-meter breaststroke but failed in her mission to break the world record at the Rio Olympics on Thursday night.
Kosuke Hagino, meanwhile, took silver behind the imperious Michael Phelps in the men's 200 individual medley to add to the 400 IM gold and 4x200 relay bronze he won earlier in the week.
Kaneto touched the wall in 2 minutes, 20.30 seconds ahead of Russia's Yulia Efimova and Shi Jinglin of China, but fell short of Rikke Moller Pederson's world-record time of 2:19.11 by 1.19 seconds.
