TOKYO – Japan’s Kosuke Hagino snared his third gold medal of the FINA World Cup stop here in Tokyo with an Asian and World Cup record in the men’s 200-meter IM.

His time tonight also undercut Chad le Clos’ 1:51.56 from Dubai as the top time in the world so far this year.

Daiya Seto took second in 1:52.55 with Hiromasa Fujimori earning third overall in 1:55.02.

Ryosuke Irie (1:55.22), Takeharu Fujimori (1:57.39), Naoki Nakatani (1:58.02), Yuki Shirai (1:58.13) and Tatsuya Ito (1:58.15) rounded out the All-Japan finale.
