Kosuke Hagano "Resurrects" Japan Short Course 200 Mixed Gold Self-Evaluation "Crossing Difficulties"

On October 27, at the Japan Short Course Swimming Championships held at the Tatsumi International Swimming Stadium in Tokyo, Kosuke Haruno (25), who had been recuperating for a long time due to his slump, won the men's 200m individual medley with a time of 1:52.89.

Kosuke Haruno, who only returned to the race in August, swam out of the game, although 2.42 seconds away from the Japanese record he held in 1:50.47, but it was also a rewarding victory. Gradually regaining his feelings, he won his first gold medal after his comeback: "I am very happy. I think I've come up with 100% of my current self and crossed a hurdle. ”

It is worth mentioning that in the men's 400m individual medley event on the 26th, Daiya Seto (25), who was only 0.03 seconds away from the world record, abstained from the 200 mixed competition due to inflammation in his left knee. Hagino also received support from Seto for the "Final Cheers".

Although standing on the top podium, Haruno knows that "it is still far away", and he continues to move forward on the road to resurrection with such a sober understanding.
