22-year-old Texas Longhorn Hubert Ko kicked off the impressive session with a shiny new Hungarian standard of 52.24 in the men’s 100m backstroke. You can read more about his scorching performance here.
Later on, the men’s 400m freestyle national record went down at the hands of open water ace Kristof Rasovszky.
28-year-old Rasovszky stopped the clock at a super swift result of 3:45.32, getting to the wall over 2 seconds ahead of his competitors.
Top-seeded Zalan Sarkany, Indiana’s 1650y freestyle NCAA champion, touched in 3:47.73 for silver while David Betlehem rounded out the podium in 3:47.86.
Rasovszky’s stunner tonight rewrote a supersuited record, beating the former Hungarian benchmark of 3:45.68 Gergo Kis put on the books at the 2009 World Championsips.
Entering this competition, Rasovszky’s personal best rested at the 3:46.56 he established during the prelims of the event at the 2023 World Championships. That means he hacked over a second off that former PB to become the speediest Hungarian ever.
Splits for Rasovszky’s 3:45.32 Hungarian Record
Both Rasovszky and silver medalist Sarkany cleared the World Aquatics ‘A’ cut of 3:48.15 needed to add the event to their lineups for Singapore.
Furthermore, veteran Rasovszky now checks in as the #2 performer on the globe at the moment, sitting only behind Australian Olympian Sam Short who ripped a world-leading 3:43.84 at the Pro Swim Series in Sacramento last week.
