Daiya Seto<\/strong>, Japan’s top shot at gold in the pool at a home Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021<\/strong><\/a>, has stunned his sport and nation by appointing a former classmate as his new mentor in the pool.<\/p>\n

Seto, who parted company last month with longtime coach Takayuki Umehara<\/strong> towards the end of a winter that saw him take down the World short-course 400m medley record<\/a>\u00a0racing for Energy Standard as the first Japanese swimmer in the International Swimming League<\/strong> last year, and the Asian 200m butterfly standard<\/a>, will be guided towards a home Games by former swimmer\u00a0Ryuichiro Ura<\/strong>, Seto’s classmate at sports powerhouse Saitama Sakae High School,<\/strong> according to reports in Japan.<\/p>\n

Umehara had guided the multiple world record-holder since elementary school and celebrated the 400m medley World title record three times, in 2013, 2015 and again last year at Gwangju 2019. The swimmer and coach have amassed 28 international podiums for Japan, among them nine World titles and eight gold medals at Pan Pacific, Asian Games and Universiade events.<\/p>\n

Seto’s Olympic tally stands at the bronze he claimed in the 400m medley at Rio 2016.<\/p>\n

A source now tells\u00a0Kyodo\u00a0News<\/em> that\u00a026-year-old Seto, reigning world champion in the 200 and 400m medley, has opted for an age peer as his next mentor.<\/p>\n

Ura, 25, broke multiple junior high school swimming<\/b> records as a member of the same relay teams as Daiya Seto<\/a> and fellow Olympian Kosuke Hagino<\/strong> in his racing days. Ura was also\u00a0a member of the JSS Moroyama Swimming School<\/strong> along with Seto and is said to have a good understanding of his temperament.<\/p>\n

The postponement of the Olympic Games by a year due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic led to Seto rethinking his plans. His top decision was to leave\u00a0Umehara, saying at the time:<\/p>\n
