The last metres were very hard but I somehow managed to get to the semifinal with the third (fastest) time so that\u2019s the important thing.\u00a0Tonight it\u2019s a new race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of there being some eyebrow-raising results in the French capital of which Honda&#8217;s was one of the most notable, Ponti said: &#8220;That\u2019s the Olympics!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don\u2019t have to swim fast during the season, you have to swim fast at the Olympics. Many people struggle with it: I don\u2019t know, maybe I won\u2019t even go faster in the 2 fly tonight. So you\u2019ve got to try to do the best possible here and I think times don\u2019t really matter, you should just try to touch before the others and make it to the final. And in the final everything is possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"593144\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-day-4-prelims-kristof-milak-the-only-man-inside-154-atop-200-fly-prelims-tomoru-honda-22nd\/m200flyprelims-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/M200flyprelims.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"916,870\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"M200flyprelims\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/M200flyprelims-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/M200flyprelims.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-593144 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/M200flyprelims-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris Olympics, Day 4 Prelims: Kristof Milak The Only Man Inside 1:54 To Top 200 Fly: Tomoru Honda 22nd It&#8217;s five years and six days since Kristof Milak first broke<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7575,"featured_media":589641,"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":[70616,75757,129981,63461,77336,67770,6302,93521,125188,126523],"class_list":["post-593123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2024-olympic-games-coverage-paris","tag-alberto-razzetti","tag-ilya-kharun","tag-kristof-milak","tag-leon-marchand","tag-luca-urlando","tag-michael-phelps","tag-noe-ponti","tag-thomas-heilman","tag-tomoru-honda"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
