Resurrected in two years from leukemia … What are Rikako Ikee’s “natural talents” and the “commonalities with Kosuke Kitajima”[explicado por la ex nadadora olímpica Hanae Ito]–Swimming –Number Web

The Japan Swimming Championships will begin on April 3. In addition to the fierce competition for the selection at the Tokyo Olympics, which has been postponed a year, Rikako Ikee also entered the fourth event, and there are many themes. We asked former Olympic swimmer Hanae Ito about the best players in this tournament and Ikee’s awesomeness (2 times total / click here to see the best players).

Definitely, Rikako Ikee will be the one to receive a lot of attention along with the competition for the right to participate in the Japanese Swimming Championships and the Tokyo Olympics, which will begin on the 3rd day. First of all, I would like to applaud the fact that you have entered in the 4th event of 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle, 100m butterfly and 50m butterfly, but she has set herself the goal of “staying in the final” …

As the swimmer himself, I also have a “blank away from the pool” for a short period of time. When I remember that, I realize that Ikee’s current location is amazing. This time, I’d like to take a look inside Ikee, the greatness of swimming, and the prospects for the tournament from a former athlete’s perspective.

Win the 50m flap in the 25 second range … tremendous potential

When I go to the swim competition site, Ikee really has a “special presence.”


Along with her outstanding talent for swimming, she was originally a bright, cheerful and attractive player. It was very painful and sad for us that Ikee developed leukemia, but … After recovering from the disease, his charm and richness of humanity have become more apparent. I think that’s getting across to everyone in the world and it’s “I definitely want to support you.”

Ikee is such a player: I can’t think of winning the tournament swimming a 50-meter butterfly in the 25-second range (Tokyo Open in February) less than a year after recovering from a serious illness (laughs). This result shows its tremendous potential.

In my experience, the period in which I did not enter the group as a player of the Japanese national team was … 1 month, no, 3 weeks. Still, I remember feeling a strong hole when swimming. Simply put, the water is soft and you are in a state where you cannot grasp it.
