Kosuke Kitajima is considered one of the greatest breaststrokers of all time. He won two consecutive Olympic gold medals in both the 100 & 200 breaststrokes at the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Since retiring, Kitajima has worked as a sports agent and is currently the president of the Tokyo Swimming Association, where he aims to help elevate Japanese swimming and bring more athletes to the international stage.
