On home soil, the three-time world champion &#8211; including in 2019 &#8211; was expected to start the Tokyo Games in successful fashion for the host nation. Instead, Seto will be a spectator to the final.<\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take long for the Tokyo Aquatics Centre to become a venue of doom as Seto, after leading his heat through 300 meters, fell apart down the stretch and placed ninth in his prime event. While Australia&#8217;s <strong>Brendon Smith<\/strong> led a tightly packed field into the championship heat, Seto&#8217;s time of 4:10.52 left him one slot shy of qualifying for the eight-man final. Smith was clocked in 4:09.27, with less than a second separating the athletes who will vie for the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Seto appeared fine through the first three legs, but a 1:00.72 split on the freestyle leg proved disastrous. While Seto has never been a strong closer, a split of that sort was shocking. Seto was more than four seconds off his personal best of 4:06.09, and his struggles over the last two laps were epic, as the field reeled him in with every stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Qualifying second and third behind Smith were New Zealand&#8217;s <strong>Lewis Clareburt<\/strong> (4:09.49) and American <strong>Chase Kalisz<\/strong> (4:09.65), the silver medalist in the 400 medley from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Three-time European champion <strong>David Verraszto<\/strong> of Hungary was fourth in 4:09.80, with fifth being shared by Italy&#8217;s <strong>Alberto Razzetti<\/strong> and the United States&#8217; <strong>Jay Litherland<\/strong> at 4:09.91. Closing out the field for the final were France&#8217;s <strong>Leon Marchand<\/strong> (4:10.09) and Great Britain&#8217;s Max Litchfield (4:10.20).<\/p>\n<p>With minimal time separating the finalists, the first event of the finals session figures to be wide open. No athlete looked to take it so easy that there is a considerable time drop ahead, and plenty of jockeying figures to be on offer. From an experience standpoint, Kalisz and Litherland have the most, with Kalisz a former world champion and Litherland the silver medalist in the event at the 2019 World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>In an interesting twist several hours before the Olympic prelims got underway, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/carson-foster-swims-408-46-400-im-at-austin-sectionals-fastest-time-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American <strong>Carson Foster<\/strong> delivered a world-leading time of 4:08.46<\/a> while racing at the Austin Sectionals. The performance of Foster served as a reminder of the depth of the United States in many events, as the 19-year-old was the third-place finisher at the United States Olympic Trials, overhauled down the stretch by Litherland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Men\u2019s 400 Individual Medley<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>World Record:<\/strong> Michael Phelps, United States, 4:03.84 (2008)<br \/>\n<strong>Olympic Record:<\/strong> Michael Phelps, United States, 4:03.84 (2008)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finalists<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
