Seto, who advanced to the final, took the lead from the first butterfly at a pace that surpassed his own record in Japan, and won the championship by showing the results of strengthening endurance honed in the highland training camp in the second half.
The time was 3 minutes 55 seconds 53, which did not reach the world record of Ryan Locte in the United States.
Seto, who did not reach the world record slightly, looked at the bulletin board showing his time and looked up at the sky for a while to regret it.

After the race, he said, “I miss it in 3/100 seconds.”
“I was able to see the time for a moment at 300 meters, and I thought I could get a world record if I could endure it to the end. It was nice to have updated my personal best, but my regrets are better.”
On top of that, "I wanted to make a world record when I came here, but it might be a message from God saying" Be alert, "I want to do my best for the Olympics so that I can't miss a gold medal in hundreds of seconds." I looked forward.

Seto's aim to declare "Challenge the world record"

Seto declared that he would “take a record challenge” at the tournament before the tournament. There was an aim unique to Seto.
The world record challenge was declared at the beginning of September.
It was a time when Seto, who won the second national medley at the World Championships held in Korea in the summer and decided the representative of the Tokyo Olympics early in the Japanese swimming team, could feel relaxed.
After finishing off for two weeks, Seto, who declared at the start of the Olympic season, said that he wanted to inspire himself by saying that he would set a world record and swim in well.

After that, I got through the harsh highland training camp for about 3 weeks in the United States until just before the tournament, and on the day before the tournament, I felt that I could n’t imagine how many seconds would explode. is.

In addition, he said that he dared to challenge the world record in the sense that it was a “rehearsal exercise” to get used to the attention and expectations of the surroundings in anticipation of the Tokyo Olympics.

In the race, we swam at a pace that exceeded the Japanese record from the early butterfly as planned to fly aggressively from the first half, and spurted the spur that showed the endurance strengthening results even in the last free form.
I wanted to change the attention of the surroundings, which could be overwhelming for athletes, to my own strength.
We looked at the secret of the strength of Seto who is aiming for a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
