  • Description

    Japanese swimming sensation Mana Ishikawa continued her domination of the pool at Dakar 2026 with a stunning victory in the Women’s 200m Individual Medley. The 17-year-old had already been crowned Youth Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 metre breaststroke, and she made it a hat trick with a brilliant swim that saw her edge out Chang Mohan of People’s Republic of China. And it was a Japanese double in the individual medleys as Iori Miyazaki picked up his second gold of the Games as he touched in front of Ariel Muchirahondo in the Men’s 200m Individual Medley, and in doing so denied the New Zealand swimmer a third gold.
