The swimming events at the Tokyo Olympics are turning out to be an absolute cracker so far. Day 1 of the sport gave us several surprises and upsets as Individual Medley favourite Daiya Seto failed to qualify for the finals. Hungary's Katinka Hosszu, Women's 400m Individual Medley World Record holder also recorded a disappointing performance during the heats.
The reign of Adam Peaty continues at the Games as he finished first in the 100m Backstroke heats. Peaty has lived up to the mantle vacated by Michael Phelps and on Day 2, the focus will be on another athlete expected to be the successor to the Baltimore Bullet – Caeleb Dressel.
Dressel won a record eight medals at the 2019 World meet. He will be in action during the 4x100m freestyle relay, an event where he had won gold along with Phelps at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
The focus will be also on five-time Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky who will be striving to break the record of eight medals won by an American woman. The first of her five events – the Women's 400m Freestyle – is scheduled on Day 2.
World Record holder Ryan Murphy is also the defending champion in Men's 100m Backstroke at the Olympics this time around. Murphy will face stiff competition from Russia's Evgeny Rylov and Kliment Kolesnikov.
