An excerpt from an e-mail sent by Toshiyuki Saka to a friend of mine. Toshiyuki is the older brother of Taihei Saka who was a member of the Japanese swim team at the 1984 Olympics. Both of the brothers swim at the Taiwan International Masters Swimming Championship in October every year. They always cause big a sensation being such outstanding swimmers. The long and the short of it is that Taihei broke the SCM world record for the 200 back by just under a second and the 200 IM world record by just over 5 seconds! Pretty impressive stuff. If you google Japan at the 1984 Olympics you should come up with the Wikipedia page which will give you a run down of Taihei's results. He competed in the 100 and 200 Fly and the 3 relays. My young Brother TAIHEI. He made 2 world new records! 2009 Feb 14-15 New Year masters swim meet 2009 Chiba international swimming pool(25m) age45 200m backstroke 2:11.22 world new record! 200m IM 2:10.24 world new record! I checked on the Fina World Records page, but they are not up yet. Presumably they will only go up in November this year.
