It's the 2021 edition 

 

Oh brother, it's been a long monday.  

 

So, this means no big international swimming for the remainder of 2020?

Will it will be ratified? I am very surprised that there was a doping test performed.

I think it will be ratified cause it's the official Olympic qualification event as scheduled. Besides this record, also some other asian records are broke and several new Olympic quotas obtained.

Anyone noticed Seto's marriage affair before? I am quite shocked because his image in mind is a responsible and almost perfect man who has a beautiful Chinese wife. But I think it weird he got suspended for having affair, for a short time though. Hope it won't interrupt his training. He is my favorite foreign swimming athlete

Bit of a weird interview as well. It's like his image as a swimmer is more important to him than his actual family, even saying "so that my family and everyone will recognise me as a swimmer again". I really don't think being recognised as a swimmer again should be priority when you're screwing your marriage..

 

By the way, a quick Google search leads to his wife being Yuka Mabuchi...a Japanese diver?

Yes a Japanese diver. Her father was a Chinese diver and being coach in Japan after retirement. She was born in China, moving to Japan very little and naturalized to Japan together with her parents. So generally Chinese fans like Seto a lot and called him Chinese son-in-law sometimes.

I agree. If his wife wasn’t chinese and/or beautiful, his cheating wouldn’t really matter, but since she is chinese and beautiful (apparently), it is completely unacceptable.
