It was in that event in which <strong>Rikako Ikee<\/strong> clocked 57.03 to grab the top seed for Monday&#8217;s final. A two-time Olympian, Ikee is a Leukemia survivor and is as close as she has been to her former top times since her comeback began.<\/p>\n<p>Ikee has been training in Australia with renowned coach Michael Bohl and that work is clearly paying off. She&#8217;ll soon have the chance to cement a spot at this summer&#8217;s Olympic Games in Paris, while also focused on cracking the 57-second barrier for the first time since she was forced to leave the sport to battle her illness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously my goal here is to qualify but I want a 56 here just as much,\u201d Ikee said. \u201cI want to compete at my third Olympics of course, but ever since I went to Australia, I feel stronger than ever about wanting to be the best in the world. I want to get through these eight days with that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was saying a 57.3 would be good enough but deep down inside I thought I might do a 56. But today was a good semi-final for a 56 in the next race. I\u2019m trying not to live and die with each swim. Today was a good day but that\u2019s not where my bar is so I\u2019m not going to let up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s 400 freestyles accounted for the only finals on the night, but there were no Paris qualifiers. Japan has set difficult qualifying standards for the summer showcase. In the women&#8217;s 400 freestyle, <strong>Miyu Namba<\/strong> edged <strong>Waka Kobori<\/strong>, 4:06.10 to 4:06.20. On the men&#8217;s side, <strong>Ikki Omoto<\/strong> went 3:49.69 to fall four seconds off the pace required for Paris.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/swim.seiko.co.jp\/2023\/S70706\/index.htm\">Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leukemia Survivor Rikako Ikee Nearing Past Form in 100 Butterfly at Japanese Olympic Trials Although there were two finals on the opening night of the Japanese Olympic Trials, the highlight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":275276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[42777],"class_list":["post-581137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-rikako-ikee"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
