Seta Daiya World record on short waterway Men's 400m individual medley Dec 21 9:47
An international competition for short water races in a 25-metre swimming pool was held in Las Vegas, USA, and Daiya Seto set a new world record of 3'54.81 in a men's 400-metre individual medley.
The tournament has been newly set up, and the world's top swimmers are divided into teams to compete for the total points of each race.
Seto, who has been decided to be the representative of the Tokyo Olympics next year, will participate in a men's 400 meter individual medley on the first day of the tournament, stand first in the butterfly who is good at swimming, and the first half is two seconds faster than the world record Turned back at the pace.
In the second half, he escaped without slowing down and finished first, setting a new world record of 3: 54.81, a record of 0:69 from the 2010 Ryan Locte world record.
Seto's world record on the short waterway is the second of its kind following the 200m butterfly he marked last year.
Seto is racing to “make a world record as a passing point for the Olympics and want to gain confidence,” and is likely to gain momentum for the next Tokyo Olympics aiming for a gold medal.
