Good luck to Hagino- he's a great swimmer that is mentally and physically strong. I hope he wins. In Tokyo, he'll face a lot of competition. My bet is on Yuichiro Nakata, a young 14 year old lad in Toyama Prefecture. My wife is a swim coach here, and he is the same age as my son. He just won the Junior Olympics in the 200 IM, and he is smashing records here. This kid is a Mozart in the pool, and I look forward to his rise. Like Hagino, he has a fantastic attitude and spirit. You heard it here first! Nakata mania in 2020... :-)
