Talk about making a splash! If you didn't know Penny Oleksiak before the 2016 Olympic Games, we bet you were on a first-name basis with the 16-year-old swimmer by the end of it. Four medals, including one gold, and the admiration of a nation: that all puts her in Rob Pizzo's number-one spot.

Tune in tomorrow to see Pizzo recap the top five Canadian athletes of the year. And, after that, Happy New Year!
