Japanese stars set meeting and world junior records in home water on the opening day of the penultimate leg of the 2017 International Swimming Federation World Cup in Tokyo.

Teenager Rikako Ikee produced one of the performances of the day in the women's 50 metres butterfly final at the Tatsumi International Swimming Center.

The 17-year-old clocked a world junior record time of 25.14 to break her previous mark of 25.73.

It proved enough for third place behind two of the biggest names in the sport.

Sweden's three-time reigning world champion Sarah Sjöström won in 24.65 as Dutch rival Ranomi Kromowidjojo took second place in 24.81.

More home success came in the men's 200m individual medley when Daiya Seto took a tenth of a second of the World Cup record previously held by fellow countryman Kosuke Hagino.

Seto clocked 1:51.40 to win by over three seconds in front of another team-mate in Takehuru Fujimori, who touched in 1:54.49.

Keita Sunama completed a home sweep with third place in 1:55.16.

Sjöström also claimed a 200m freestyle win when touching in 1:52.94 to comfortably beat Australia's Cate Campbell, second in 1:54.69, and China's Bingjie Lie, third in 1:54.91.
