Rikako Ikee, a swimmer, participated in the women's 50-meter freestyle at the "Japan Open" where the top athletes in Japan participated, and marked the fastest 25.06 seconds after returning to the competition in the qualifying, marking the fastest overall 25.06 in the afternoon final I proceeded to.
Last year, Ikee, who returned from leukemia, participated in the "Japan Open" held at the Tokyo Aquatics Center in Koto-ku, Tokyo.
Ikee entered only the women's 50m freestyle on the final day of this tournament, and although he was a little late in the morning qualifying immediately after the start, he showed a speedy swim after the middle stage and marked a time of 25.06. I finished in the first place.
In this event, 25.62 seconds, which was marked at the Japan Student Championship last October, was the fastest time after returning, but Ikee shortened 0.56 seconds from the qualifying and advanced to the final in the afternoon at the top of the overall team.
Ikee's personal best is 24.21, which is a Japanese record, and it will be interesting to see if he can shorten the time further in the final.
