The 20-year-old, who crushed Michael Phelps’ 200 fly world record<\/a> en-route to gold at the World Championships in Gwangju in July 2019, was diagnosed with coronavirus at the end of September, according to Hungarian media.<\/p>\n
His coach Attila Selmeci<\/strong> told InfoRadio that Milak had been “feverish and weakened” and was so fatigued he did not leave his apartment for 10 days.<\/p>\n
So too had he been mentally worn out by quarantine and lost a significant amount of muscle.<\/p>\n
Although he can now leave his apartment, Milak must wait until next Monday when his doctor will decide whether he can resume training.<\/p>\n
Milak may join Iron in the latter stages of the competition but it is also possible he will miss the entire competition.<\/p>\n
