What to remember
Tomoru Honda set his mark at the Japanese Championships in Tokyo: on October 22, 2022, he swam the 200 m butterfly in 1 min 46.85 s in a 25-metre pool. Tokyo was also where he had won Olympic silver over the same distance at the 2020 Games.
Born in Yokohama, Honda took Olympic silver in the 200 m butterfly at the Tokyo 2020 Games. He also raced in the International Swimming League for the Tokyo Frog Kings.
The men's 200 m butterfly has been Olympic since 1956, and the women's race since 1968. Men and women have swum it at the World Aquatics Championships from their very start in 1973. Records are kept separately for long and short course. In the 25-metre pool, the records are held by Honda and Canada's Summer McIntosh; Hungary's Kristóf Milák owns the men's long course record.
