Daiya Seto’s “night out” and divorce reports have infuriated the federation… “In danger of being expelled from the national team” at the worst possible time during the rebuilding of Nippon Swimming.

Divorce and “Mother-Con” Divorce

The Olympic medalist in men’s swimming, Daiya Seto, has been reportedly divorced.

The November 21 issue of Shukan Bunshun (weekly magazine) reported the details under the headline, “Daiya Seto Divorced from His Wife, a Mother-Ton. His wife, Yuka Mabuchi, a former Japanese women’s national diving team member, was reportedly annoyed by her husband’s “playful” habit that had not been corrected, and asked him for a divorce.

The couple, who had been dating since their college days, married in 2005. They had their first daughter in 2006 and their second daughter in 2008. However, their happy married life did not last long.

In 2008, when they had their second daughter, a weekly magazine Shincho revealed Seto’s infidelity. It was reported that he had a secret meeting with a CA working for an airline company at a hotel in broad daylight. The following week, Shincho again reported, under the title “Medley of Adultery,” about his meetings with a woman living in a rural area and a hostess, forcing not only Seto but also Mabuchi to apologize for his behavior.

After the Shincho report, the couple seemed to have gotten back together for a time, but his womanizing ways never healed. But he never got over his womanizing ways. However, it has long been rumored in the industry that Seto has been having a night out, and most people say that he has no remorse at all and that it is rather surprising that he was not caught until now.

According to Bunshun, the two have been living separately since this spring. According to the sports newspaper reporter, “something unusual” happened to Mabuchi around that time.

The summer Olympics were coming up in Paris, and it was expected that Seto, a member of Japan’s national team, would be the center of attention. At that time, Ms. Mabuchi informed the mass media not to use the phrase “wife of Daiya Seto. She also requested that photos of her and her husband not be used. At that point, there were concerns about the couple’s relationship.

Then, the company decided to stop using the photo of Seto Oya’s wife,

“Of all places, …… at this time of all times.”

One person involved in swimming is frowning at the timing of the news.

At the Paris Olympics, athletes who were expected to medal, such as Seto in the men’s 200 & 400m individual medley and Tou Honda in the men’s 200m butterfly, were eliminated one after another. Only one medal was won by Tomoyuki Matsushita, who came in second in the men’s 400m individual medley, the worst number since the 21st century.

After a disappointing showing at the previous Tokyo Olympics, with two gold medals and one silver, the Japan Swimming Federation began a drastic reform of its organization, with swimming committee chairman Takayuki Umehara stepping down at the end of September before his term ends next June, and Toshiaki Kurasawa becoming the acting swimming committee chairman just this month on September 6.

The Paris Olympics saw Japan win a record number of medals, but swimming was a disaster. While the entire industry was working together to revive “Swimming Nippon” before the next Olympics in Los Angeles, a weekly magazine report broke out in the Seto Inland Sea. No wonder people in the swimming world are angry,” said a desk reporter for a sports newspaper.

Taking junior swimmers with him to the nightlife

In the first affair in 2008, Seto was abandoned by most of his sponsors, and about three weeks after the report, the Japan Swimming Federation held a meeting of its executive board and imposed a “year-end suspension” on Seto. This time, there is a possibility of even harsher punishment.

Seto is of the opinion that no matter what the process is, the one who achieves the result is the one who is superior. Although there are many things to learn from his swagger and mentality, poor conduct can have a negative impact on other athletes as well. In the Bunshun article, it was also reported that he “was taking junior players out for a night on the town with him.

Some federation officials are outraged, and some are beginning to call for his expulsion from the national team. Last time, the Ethics Committee met within a month of the news report and decided on the punishment. In light of the level of condemnation from the association, I think some sort of punishment may be handed down as early as next month.

said the aforementioned desk clerk. Seto is currently in the process of divorcing Mabuchi, and there are differences of opinion over the custody of their two children.

Seto and his mother are claiming custody of the children. Mr. Mabuchi says he cannot back down on that. I hope they can come to terms on the conditions. ……

Seto has his sights set on the World Short Course Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in December, as a win in the 400m individual medley would make it an unprecedented seven consecutive titles,

He is highly motivated,” said a source close to the swimming world.

(a source in the swimming world). Will he show his “steel mentality” here, too?
