The pool has provided its share, including <strong>Duncan Armstrong<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/seoul-anniversary-the-night-duncan-armstrong-became-the-dragon-slayer-and-laurie-lawrence-embodied-a-caged-animal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mining Olympic gold in the 200-meter freestyle<\/a> at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. There was also <strong>Misty Hyman\u2019s<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sydney-flashback-misty-hyman-and-her-epic-olympic-upset-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">triumph in the 200 butterfly<\/a> at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>If Hungarian <strong>Kristof Milak<\/strong> does not capture gold in the 200 butterfly at the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fina.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FINA<\/a> World Championships, the sport will instantly feature its latest upset tale. Yes, the reigning Olympic champion and world-record holder is that much of a favorite in his prime event, which he will contest in front of a home crowd at the Duna Arena in Budapest.<\/p>\n<p>Milak owns the four-fastest performances in history, headlined by the 1:50.73 world record he established at the last edition of the World Champs \u2013 held in 2019. During that effort, Milak cruised to a three-second victory over Japan\u2019s <strong>Daiya Seto<\/strong> and took down <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong>\u2019 previous global standard of 1:51.51, set at the 2009 World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Following that career-defining showing, Milak was forced to wait two years to cement his world record with an Olympic crown. At the Tokyo Games last summer, he came through, registering a time of 1:51.25 for a convincing win over Japan\u2019s <strong>Tomoru Honda<\/strong> (1:53.73). The mark was the third-quickest of all-time, and came on the heels of a torn suit 10 minutes before Milak was required to report to the ready room.<\/p>\n<p>At the World Championships, which begin on Saturday, Milak will almost certainly race the clock. Only a monumental upset or catastrophe will keep the 22-year-old off the top of the podium. The obvious questions are whether Milak can lower his world record and crack the 1:50 barrier in the event. As insane as it may seem, sub-1:50 could be in play.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been 43 years since the Soviet Union\u2019s <strong>Sergey Kopliakov<\/strong> became the first man to break the 1:50 threshold in the 200 freestyle. Now, we\u2019re at a point where the possibility exists in the 200 fly. Milak is a phenom, plain and simple. Armed with impeccable technique, he also possesses the perfect combination of speed and endurance.<\/p>\n<p>When Milak set the world record, he was out in 24.66 at the 50-meter mark and touched in 52.88 at the midway point. A third-50 split of 28.69 enabled the Hungarian to hit the 150-meter wall at 1:21.57, and a closing lap of 29.16 brought a 1:50.73 swim to the scoreboard. Since that performance, Milak has considerably improved his speed, and an enhanced early pace could be the major factor in the chase for a sub-1:50 marker.<\/p>\n<p>The pursuit will be can\u2019t-miss action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Championships: Kristof Milak Chasing Once-Unthinkable Barrier: Sub-1:50 in 200 Butterfly Upsets are part of the fabric of sports, an opportunity for fans to celebrate the underdog and his\/her feel-good<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":275779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[130625,63461,6302],"class_list":["post-506428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2022-fina-world-championships-budapest","tag-kristof-milak","tag-michael-phelps"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
