Rikako Ikee, a swimmer, participated in the first race after the Tokyo Olympics on the 27th, saying, "I want to do what I should do now and grow while enjoying each match." Looking ahead to the Games, I renewed my determination.

Ikee participated in the third relay event at the Tokyo Olympics, of which the women's 400-meter medley relay contributed to the team's advancement to the finals.



On the 27th, as the first race after the Tokyo Olympics, I participated in the competition between Nihon University and Chuo University's swimming club held in Narashino City, Chiba Prefecture.



The competition was held regardless of gender for each event, and Ikee, who participated in the 200-meter freestyle, had just resumed training about a week ago, but when he escaped from the first half with an aggressive swim, the second half. I also kept the pace tenaciously and finished in the first place.



The time was 2 minutes 1 second 93, which is about 7 seconds slower than his own Japanese record marked in 2018, but the time was shortened by more than 6 seconds compared to the May tournament because he swam this event last time.

After the race, Ikee said that he had set the target time in the 2 minutes and 2 seconds range. I was talking.



He also recalled about the Tokyo Olympics, saying, "It was a lonely match with no spectators and only relays, but I had a fun race against the players from all over the world. I had a good experience."



Then, looking ahead to the Paris tournament three years from now, "I just want to do what I should do now and grow while enjoying each and every match. I want to go, "he renewed his determination when he started again.
