Rikako Ikee won the women's 100-meter freestyle final in the Japan Championships in Swimming at 53.98, but failed to break the standard dispatch record set by the Japan Swimming Federation.
On the other hand, this race also serves as a representative selection for the women's 400m relay, with the total time of four players, Ikee who won the race, Natsumi Sakai in second place, Chihiro Igarashi in third place, and Rika Omoto in fourth place. All of them have been nominated as representatives after breaking the standard dispatch record.
Ikee, who achieved two crowns in this tournament and was appointed as the Olympic representative of the women's 400m relay following the medley relay, said, "I have been able to swim well from the qualifying, and I am aiming for an absolute 53 seconds in the final. I'm glad I was able to achieve it. To be honest, I wanted to set a little more time, but I'm glad to be able to form a relay with a new team. "
