Already ticketed for <a href=\"https:\/\/tokyo2020.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tokyo<\/a> as a member of a pair of Japanese relays, Ikee is chasing an individual bid in the 50-meter freestyle.<\/p>\n<p>During Friday night\u2019s preliminaries, Ikee posted the second-fastest time, going 25.39. That swim was topped only by the 25.33 of <strong>Rika<\/strong> <strong>Omoto<\/strong>, who will be the top seed for the semifinals. The Japanese Federation requires a time of 24.46 or faster to qualify to race the 50 free at the Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Ikee comes up short of qualifying for the Olympics in an individual event, it will not take the luster off what has been a special week.
