Japanese swimmer Daiya Seto finished fourth in the men's 200-meter individual medley on Friday, missing out on a medal in the only final he reached at the Tokyo Games.

The reigning world champion in both the 200 and 400 IM, Seto touched in 1 minute, 56.22 seconds, 1.22 behind the gold medalist Wang Shun of China and 0.05 behind bronze medalist Jeremy Desplanches of Switzerland. Britain's Duncan Scott won silver.

After his shock exit in the 400 IM heats and his failure to reach 200 butterfly final, this was Seto's last chance to win a medal and live up to the pre-Games hype.
