Daiya Seto (26 = TEAM DAIYA), who had been suspended for two and a half months due to women’s issues, realized the seriousness of the swimming. The 200m butterfly is the third and the 200m individual mix is ​​the lowest. It is not the second crown to follow the 400m individual medley on day 4. The second event of the day was not pleasant, but considering the small number of games, I kept the position of skipping the rankings. After the tournament restart, we will finally restart for the Tokyo Olympics.

◇ ◇ ◇

The reality was not sweet. 200m butterfly finish. Seto said, “By the time I jumped, my body was heavy.” 3rd place in 1’56.32 without accelerating. 19 minutes later, the 200-meter individual combined final was also eighth-lowest at 2: 3: 89. It was more than 5 seconds behind winning rival Hagino. Hagino and Goo Touch did, but “I swam with a view to winning, but I still lacked practice. I only swam with a hero.” Even at the Konami Open in February 2018, the same event failed to qualify for 14th overall. Even in the humiliating career for the first time in three years, he admitted defeat.

I didn’t just lose. On this day, 200 meters x 4 in the second qualifying and end of the day. With Seto’s technology, he can stay in the final with some spare capacity, but he said, “I didn’t want to play qualifying because the number of matches is small. Whoever is left with energy savings can fight in the final. It’s possible. “In qualifying, the two events passed at the top of the pack, and fiercely dispersed in the final. The lack of actual combat was due to the suspension of activities, but he said, “It’s just the result of what I did.

On this day, Ms. Yuka sent me a phone call saying “Do your best today” and entered the place. He regretted, “To be honest, I couldn’t answer that word today,” just because he was grateful to be “thankful.” On the other hand, I got a good harvest in the return battle. “The sensation of water has not diminished. Lactic acid resistance and endurance training. Just that. If you do that, you will be able to improve your time immediately and aim for a Japanese record. I want to do my best thinking that it will be a restart from here “. And aim for revival.[Kazuhiro Masuda]
