Ippei Watanabe<\/strong>, who earlier this year became the first man to crack the 2:07-barrier in the men’s 200 breast, threw down another impressive performance in that event to highlight the final day of competition at the 2017 Japan Open in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Watanabe won the 200 breast in 2:07.77, about a second off his new world record of 2:06.67. But he was dominant in the race, with countrymen\u00a0Ryuya Mura\u00a0<\/strong>(2:09.63) and\u00a0Yasuhiro Koseki<\/strong> (2:09.89) finishing about two seconds behind.<\/p>\n

The Olympic gold medalist in the 400 IM continues to look like the World title favorite in the 200 IM as Japan’s\u00a0Kosuke Hagino<\/strong> won that shorter race in 1:56.30, not far off his world No. 1 time of 1:56.01.\u00a0Daiya Seto\u00a0<\/strong>finished second in 1:57.74, and a third Japanese swimmer,\u00a0Takeharu Fujimori<\/strong>, touched third in 1:58.74.<\/p>\n

Japan’s\u00a0Yui Ohhashi<\/strong> won the women’s 200 IM to open up the session. Currently ranked third in the world at 2:09.96, she posted a 2:10.66 to easily out-pace Great Britain’s\u00a0Hannah Miley<\/strong> (2:12.06) and Japan’s\u00a0Runa Imai<\/strong> (2:12.12).<\/p>\n

Rikako Ikee<\/strong> picked up her fourth win of the meet in the women’s 100 fly. She is one of only two women to break the 57-second barrier this year, and she won this race in 57.65. Great Britain’s\u00a0Alys Thomas\u00a0<\/strong>came in second in 58.37, followed by Japan’s\u00a0Suzuka Hasegawa<\/strong> (59.45).<\/p>\n

Great Britain’s\u00a0Ben Proud<\/strong>, the top-ranked swimmer in the world in the men’s 50 free, delivered a 21.89 to easily win that event in Tokyo. Meanwhile,\u00a0Shinri Shioura\u00a0<\/strong>touched out\u00a0Katsumi Nakamura\u00a0<\/strong>for second, 25.18 to 25.19.<\/p>\n

Another British swimmer won the men’s 100 fly as\u00a0James Guy\u00a0<\/strong>powered his way to a 51.50 that moved him to third in the world in the event. Following Guy into the finish was the Japanese duo of\u00a0Naoki Mizununa\u00a0<\/strong>(52.38) and\u00a0Yuusuke Miyoshi<\/strong> (52.49).<\/p>\n

Australian teenager\u00a0Minna Atherton<\/strong> picked up another win in the women’s 50 back, touching in 27.80 to beat out Great Britain’s\u00a0Georgia Davies\u00a0<\/strong>by two tenths. Davies touched in 27.80, and Japan’s\u00a0Miyuki Takemura<\/strong> came in third at 28.34. Atherton’s time moved her into the world top-ten in the event.<\/p>\n

Japan’s\u00a0Junya Koga\u00a0<\/strong>dominated the men’s 50 back, finishing on top in 25.04.\u00a0Junya Hasegawa\u00a0<\/strong>was second in 25.41, and finishing third in 25.68 was\u00a0Masaki Kaneko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Japan’s\u00a0Reona Aoki<\/strong> won\u00a0in the women’s 200 breast in 2:24.32, ahead of Great Britain’s\u00a0Molly Renshaw\u00a0<\/strong>(<\/strong>2:25.54) and\u00a0<\/strong>Japan’s\u00a0Kako Ishida<\/strong> (2:26.23).\u00a0Sayuki Ouchi<\/strong> took first in the women’s 50 free in 25.17, followed by\u00a0Chihiro Igarashi\u00a0<\/strong>(25.38) and\u00a0Aya Satou\u00a0<\/strong>(25.48).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
