Milak is the top seed by three-quarters of a second in Friday\u2019s final, with only one swimmer within a second of the Hungarian.

Then, Milak finished fourth and <strong>Matthew Temple<\/strong> was sixth. (Also missing is 2019 silver medalist <strong>Andrey Minakov<\/strong> of Russia.)<\/p>\n<p>Milak won silver in Tokyo in a European record of 49.68. With the meet record at 49.50, Friday\u2019s final might be a question of how many records Milak can collect.<\/p>\n<p>A relatively slow first heat included four swimmers within a tenth and a pair of Brits tied for fifth at 51.50 (that pair, including <strong>James Guy<\/strong>, ended up 11th). <strong>Joshua Liendo<\/strong> got his hand to the wall first in 51.14. Temple and <strong>Jakub Majerski,<\/strong> who tied for fifth at the Olympics last year, tied for sixth in semis at 51.24 from the first heat.<\/p>\n<p>The second heat supplied the top two finishers, with Japan\u2019s <strong>Naoki Mizunuma<\/strong> second in 50.81. Also qualifying for the final is Olympic bronze medalist <strong>Noe Ponti<\/strong> of Switzerland in fourth in 51.18 and <strong>Simon Bucher<\/strong> of Austria in fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The eighth and final finals spot went to <strong>Michael Andrew,<\/strong> who took the race out well but admittedly died a little coming back. He still held on in 51.28, .13 up on Dutchman <strong>Nyls Korstanje<\/strong> in the outside lane of Heat 2.<\/p>\n<p>Both Liendo and Andrew face the daunting 100 fly\/50 free double. Their rest times were roughly equivalent, with Liendo in the first heat of both races and Andrew the second heat of both.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"507481\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-kristof-milak-on-course-for-butterfly-double\/m100flysemi\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"929,759\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"M100flysemi\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;M100flysemi&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-507481\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi.jpg\" alt=\"M100flysemi\" width=\"650\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi.jpg 929w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi-245x200.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi-450x368.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100flysemi-533x435.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Championships: Kristof Milak on Course for Butterfly Double A butterflying Kristof Milak is a thing of beauty.
