Paris Olympics final selection, women’s 200m individual medley, culminates in Paris. Competitive female swimmer Yui Ohashi (Itoman Toshin), who won the individual medley twice at the Tokyo Olympics, made the most of her “last chance.” In the women’s 200-meter individual medley on the final day of the Paris Olympics selection competition (24th, Tokyo Aquatics Center), she led the first half and continued to swim with ease until the end. She won with a time of 2 minutes, 9.17 seconds, which exceeded the standard record, and earned her second consecutive Olympic ticket. “If I don’t make it to the national team, I’ll probably quit,” he said, thinking of retiring, but after his results, he said, “I was really nervous, but I was just trying to do what I could.I think I was able to run the race that I had envisioned.” He looked relieved. She said that during the last Tokyo Olympics, she “thought it would be her last Olympics,” but she won her shot at the Midsummer Festival. She said, “I want to maximize my ability and swim the best.I don’t think about myself as the defending champion, but by doing my personal best, I can get closer to winning a medal or getting even one better place.” I think so,” she said enthusiastically. Ohashi views the Paris Olympics as a culmination. Will she be able to make the most of her competitive career?
