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 Recap/Day 2 Finals Recap/Day 3 Finals Recap/Day 4 Finals RecapWe’ve been watching 26-year-old world record holder and Olympic champion Kristof Milak closely this week as the Hungarian is racing in his first meet back since this time last year.
He’s already put up some solid marks in the prelims, semi-finals and finals of multiple events (see earlier recaps linked above) but the dynamo saved his best performances for the last day of these National Championships.
Milak kicked off his day with a morning swim in the men’s 50m free, where he notched a solid time of 22.11 to put the field on notice. That was already within striking distance of his best-ever outing of 21.89 in the event, a mark from the 2024 season.
Tonight, however, in the semi-final round, which kicked off the session at about 17:30 local time, Milak scorched a lifetime best of 21.76 to once again claim the top seed. That sliced .13 off the aforementioned prior PB to check the versatile ace in as Hungary’s 3rd-fastest man in history and situates him just outside the list of top 10 performers worldwide on the season.
Top 5 Hungarian Men’s LCM 50 Freestyle Performers All-Time
Krisztian Takacs – 21.42, 2009 Szebasztian Szabo – 21.60, 2022 Kristof Milak – 21.76, 2026 Maxim Lobanovskij – 21.77, 2020 Nandor Nemeth – 21.87, 2026Just about half an hour later, Milak dove in for the final of the men’s 100m fly, where he ripped a head-turning time of 50.22 to put to rest questions as to whether or not he was back to form.
Opening in 23.60 and closing in 26.62, Milak beat the pack by over 2 seconds.
Richard Marton was next ot the wall in 52.12 as 17-year-old David Antal hit a still impressive mark of 52.41. Of note, after taking down Milak’s 200m fly Hungarian age record in the 200m fly, Antal still sits well over a second outside Milak’s age benchmark of 50.61 established in 2017.
Milak’s 50.22 stunner tonight represents the 7th-best outing of his illustrious career, one which possesses a lifetime best of 49.68. He won gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in 49.90; however, his time this evening would have bagged the bronze.

He helped drive Nandor Nemeth to a new lifetime best of his own en route to silver, with the 26-year-old clocking 21.87 to represent Hungary’s 5th-fastest man of all time. Szebasztian Szabo rounded out the podium in 22.23.
