On Saturday, Ohashi continued to flash his talent when he won the 200-meter breaststroke in dominant fashion at the Japan Swim, a four-day competition unfolding in Tokyo and featuring many of Japan&#8217;s top stars.<\/p>\n<p>The world junior record holder in the 200 breaststroke, Ohashi posted a winning time of 2:07.31. The mark was less than a second off Ohashi&#8217;s personal best, a 2:06.59, but it served as a promising performance en route to this summer&#8217;s Pan Pacific Championships. Ohashi was out in 28.72 and made the turn at the halfway point of the race in 1:01.77, before splitting 1:34.19 at the 150-meter turn. He was followed in second place by <strong>Yu Hanaguruma<\/strong>, who produced a mark of 2:09.71.<\/p>\n<p>Another of Japan&#8217;s rising stars, 17-year-old <strong>Yumeki Kojima<\/strong> prevailed in the 200 backstroke, as he clocked 1:55.62 to claim a narrow triumph over <strong>Hidekazu Takehara<\/strong>, who checked in at 1:55.80. Kojima is best known for his ability in the individual medley events, and notably owns the WJR in the 400 IM. He was joined as a titlist in the 200 backstroke by <strong>Mio Narita<\/strong>, who won the women&#8217;s event in 2:09.82.<\/p>\n<p>Four men cracked the 1:58 barrier in a tight final of the 200 individual medley, with <strong>Tomoyuki Matsushita<\/strong> emerging victorious in 1:57.28. Matsushita trailed <strong>Kosuke Makino<\/strong> heading into the final length by .42, but he rallied on the freestyle leg to prevail by .04, with Makino touching in 1:57.32. They were followed in third and fourth, respectively, by <strong>Yuta Watanabe<\/strong> (1:57.84) and <strong>Raito Numata<\/strong> (1:57.98).<\/p>\n<p>Veterans <strong>Satomi Suzuki<\/strong> and <strong>Rikako Ikee<\/strong> walked away with wins. The 35-year-old Suzuki followed up a win in the 100 breaststroke with a title in the 200 distance. Suzuki was timed in 2:24.79, which was comfortably ahead of the 2:26.41 from <strong>Kotomi Kato<\/strong>. As for Ikee, she picked up a tight victory over <strong>Ai Soma<\/strong> in the 50 butterfly, both women breaking the 26-second barrier. Ikee got to the wall in 25.85, while Soma touched in 25.97.<\/p>\n<p>Triumphs in the 100 freestyle finals went to <strong>Katsuhiro Matsumoto<\/strong> (48.55) and <strong>Nagisa Ikemoto<\/strong> (54.79).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swim.seiko.co.jp\/en\/2026\/S70701\/eng_index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shin Ohashi Snares Title in 200 Breaststroke at Japan Swim;
