The men's 400 metre individual medley event at the 2016 Summer Olympics took place on 6 August at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium.[1]

London 2012 bronze medalist Kosuke Hagino ended the 24-year American supremacy to win Japan's first ever gold medal in the event at these Games. He held off a late challenge from the top-seeded U.S. swimmer Chase Kalisz down the final stretch to touch the wall first in a new Asian record of 4:06.05.[2][3] Snapping a streak of five straight golds for the United States, Kalisz managed to secure his first Olympic career medal with a personal best of 4:06.75 for a silver. Meanwhile, Hagino's fellow countryman and 2015 world champion Daiya Seto captured the bronze in 4:09.71, to give Japan two swimmers on the same Olympic podium for the first time in 60 years.[4]

Great Britain's Max Litchfield finished off the podium with a fourth-place time in 4:11.62, edging out the American Jay Litherland by six-hundredths of a second (4:11.68). Australian duo Thomas Fraser-Holmes (4:11.90) and Travis Mahoney (4:15.48), as well as Spain's Joan Lluís Pons (4:16.58) closed out the field.[3]

Germany's Jacob Heidtmann, who established a new national record of 4:11.85 to finish among the top eight for the final, was disqualified for using two dolphin kicks in the breaststroke leg during the prelims.[5]

The medals for the competition were presented by Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, IOC member, and the gifts were presented by Dr. Julio Maglione, President of the FINA.
