Rikako Ikee participated in the competition between Nihon University and Chuo University's swimming club in Koto Ward, Tokyo. I have to take good care of the game. I want to train slowly and slowly. "
The competition between Nihon University and Chuo University's swimming club was held on the 2nd at the Tatsumi International Swimming Center in Koto Ward, Tokyo.
In the competition, races were held regardless of gender for each event, and Ikee, who was the captain of the female swimming club in the 4th year of Nihon University, participated in the 400-meter freestyle as part of the strengthening.
There was no female player entry in this event other than Ikee, and Ikee finished at 4: 21.70.
She said she was aiming for the 4'15s range, she said, "I didn't know how fast she could swim because she wasn't around."
Ikee was scheduled to participate in the Asian tournament, which will be the first international tournament in four years, in September, but the tournament was postponed due to the influence of the new coronavirus. I don't think there will be a year when we can strengthen it. I want to accumulate this steadily so that I can hit my regrets when I go to an international convention someday. "
Inspired by the world championships of swimming in Hungary, where he couldn't make it to the national team, he said, "I'm still here, weakness and ability are the top in the world," looking ahead to the Paris Olympics two years later. I'm in a position to understand that it's not at the feet of the players. I have to take care of each game in a blink of an eye for two years. Today's result was not good for me to become stronger in the future. I want to train. "
