2026 Hungarian National Championships
April 15-19, 2026 Prelims Day 1, 3, 5: 9:00 am local (3:00 am ET) Day 2 & 4: 10 am local (4:00 am ET) Finals — 5:30 pm local (11:30 am ET) Sopron, Hungary — Lővér Swimming Pool LCM (50 Meters) SwimSwam Preview Meet Central Live Results and Start Lists Livestreams on YouTube Day 1 Finals RecapKristof Milak has scratched out of the finals of the 200 fly, an event where he holds the World Record, at this week’s grueling Hungarian National Championships, according to the Hungarian Swimming Association.
“Here is still noticeably not where he used to be, so at the end of the day his coach, Almos Szabo, indicated that he would step down from this distance, leaving the 100 free.”
Milak’s scratch doesn’t mean a day off, as indicated by the MUSZ. The federation has incorporated semi-finals into its five-day national championship meet. On Wednesday, Milak swam the semi-finals of the 100 free, where he ranked 2nd in 49.34, and the 200 fly, where he ranked 4th in 1:59.88.
While there was little time pressure to make the finals of either race (2:02.60 was the 8th qualifier in the 200 fly), that swim was more than nine seconds off his best, and it appears that his coach expected more signals in the semis.
Richard Marton is the top seed in the 200 fly (1:56.56) and Nandor Nemeth is the top seed in the 100 free (48.11).
Milak is the National Record holder in both events – with bests of 47.47 in the 100 free and 1:50.34 in the 200 fly. While his training and presence have become unreliable for Hungary, the country will still benefit from any presence from Milak at the European Championships this summer. He didn’t compete at last year’s World Championship meet.
There, Hungary placed 6th in the 400 free relay in 3:12.75, about three seconds away from the medals. In spite of being the National Record holder, he didn’t swim the relay at the Paris Olympics either, where Hungary placed 8th. His best effort on that relay likely wouldn’t have lifted Hungary much higher than about 5th.
Milak has only raced once since the Paris Olympics, at the 2025 National Championships.
This week, his is still scheduled to race the 50 free, 200 free, 50 fly, and 100 fly. None of those events are scheduled for Thursday.
