Hungarian Championships: Kristof Milak Marks Return With 200 Fly\/50 Free Double in A Cut Times \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kristof Milak,<\/strong> in case you\u2019re keeping score at home, is back. And in a very big way.<\/p>\n

Milak bookended the finals session of Day 2 of the Hungarian National Championships Wednesday by winning the men\u2019s 200 butterfly and 50 freestyle at the Duna Arena.<\/p>\n

In his bread-and-butter event, Milak looked slightly off his world record best but a worthy contender to defend his gold medal from Tokyo. He bossed the final 50 meters in the final to go 1:54.90, coming home in an even 30.00. It allowed him to pull away from Richard Marton,<\/strong> who went 1:56.32 for silver, and get under the Olympic qualification time. Marton\u2019s time is a consideration cut.<\/p>\n

Milak has all but qualified for Paris 2024 in the 100 and 200 fly with times from the 2023 Hungarian nationals although that won’t be confirmed until the qualification period ends on 23 June, the final day of the European Championships in Belgrade, SErbia.<\/p>\n
