34-Yr-Old Satomi Suzuki Completes Breaststroke Treble For First Time Since 2010

2025 JAPAN SWIM

The 2025 Japan Swim saw its last day of action transpire from the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, the site of the 2020 Olympic Games.

The competition represented the sole qualification opportunity for the nation’s swimmers to add their names to the roster for this summer’s World Championships in Singapore.

Making a statement across all three of her events was Olympian Satomi Suzuki who showed no signs of slowing down at 34 years of age.

Over the course of the 4-day affair, Suzuki successfully completed the breaststroke treble, grabbing gold and making the grade for Singapore in the 50m, 100m and 200m events.

Her times were as follows:

  • 50m breast – 30.36
  • 100m breast – 1:06.21
  • 200m breast – 2:23.98

This year marks the first time Tadahiko Kanda-trained Suzuki has won all three events since 2010 when she was a second-year student at Yamanashi Gakuin University.

Two years after that first trifecta, Suzuki claimed 200m breaststroke silver at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Last year in Paris, the seasoned veteran finished 4th in the 200m breast event.

After this Japan Swim, Suzuki now ranks 2nd in the world in the 50m, 2nd in the world in the 100m and 5th in the world in the 200m distance.
