Japanese swimmer Rikako Ikee qualified for the Tokyo Olympics just two years after she was diagnosed with leukemia. She was overcome with tears in the water after swimming to a time of 57.77 seconds in the 100-metre butterfly at Japan's national championships held at the new swimming venue for the Tokyo Olympics. That qualified her for a place in the medley relay.
