Yui Ohashi, a swimmer, participated in the first domestic race since the Tokyo Olympics, which won two gold medals.
The "Kosuke Kitajima Cup", in which top players from Japan participate, will start on the 21st at the Tatsumi International Swimming Pool in Koto-ku, Tokyo, and Ohashi, who won two gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, will be the first domestic race since the Olympics. I faced it.
Although I couldn't keep up with the speed in the final of the 200m butterfly, I shortened the time by about 3 seconds from the qualifying and finished in 4th place with 2 minutes 11 seconds 57.
Also, in the 100-meter breaststroke, I was 5th in 1 minute 10 seconds 24.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Ohashi left coach Hirai Norimasa, who was the head coach of the Japanese national team, and was practicing in a new environment. I understand. I want to get back a little in the remaining two days. "
In addition, Rikako Ikee participated in the 200m freestyle and returned in 5th place in the first half without jumping out at the start, but in the second half he caught up with a stretchy swim and marked 1 minute 58 seconds 77 and was 2nd place. ..
Compared to the record of the race that participated in this event last August, the time was shortened by about 3 seconds.
Ikee said, "It was a race with some anxiety, but I think I was able to swim with the goal of going from the first half. I want to win the 100m freestyle tomorrow. "
