Kosuke Hagino will be making his third trip to the Olympics this summer, but he’ll be a different swimmer in Tokyo than he was in either London or Rio de Janeiro.
Hagino secured his spot at the Tokyo Games on Thursday when he finished second to Daiya Seto in a nail-biter in the 200 individual medley (IM) final at the national championships on Thursday. Hagino finished in 1 minute, 57.43 seconds, just 0.02 behind Seto.
Hagino had already earned a berth in the men’s 4x200 relay with his performance in the 200 freestyle on Sunday and will now swim in the individual event as well.
