2021 HUNGARIAN SPRING NATIONALS
- March 23 – 27
- Budapest, Hungary (Danube Arena)
- LCM (50m)
- Full Meet Results
- Friday prelims results
Kristof Milak dropped a 51.07 to lead the 100 fly prelims this evening in Budapest, with tomorrow morning’s finals being the last session of the meet. This ties his world-best time from December.
The surprise was the second-place finisher, as new 200 IM European junior record-holder Hubert Kos downed his old best with a 51.52, well ahead of Szebasztian Szabo‘s 52.20 in third. Kos turns 18 in a couple of days, and this was a best by over a second for him, now ranking him ninth in the world.
Kos now appears favored to qualify in this event for Tokyo to go along with his 200 IM. For some American context, Michael Phelps holds the 17-18 NAG record at 51.10, while #2 in history in the age group is Luca Urlando at 52.04.

Cal commit Fanni Fabian was second in 2:00.40, ahead of Ajna Kesely (2:00.69) and Katinka Hosszu (2:00.75), setting up a big race tomorrow morning in the final.

Thank you
50.47 this morning.
Facts or predictions?
Really shocked to see thiis after people said that he is a 1:44 guy and a gold medal contender in Tokyo …
The guy is absolutely leaving Tokyo with a gold medal.
if Jimmy guy can go 51.70 with a full beard and chest hair, surly him/milak/minakov/Chad are all fighting for podium places
I absolutely expect Guy to be up there in the fly this summer. But I think your idea of a full beard is a bit different from mine if you’re referring to my recollection of Jimmy’s facial hair 😂.
😂😂
1 dislike from Guy and the other from his beard?
Impressive swim for Ms. Kapas – she is more even in the 200 splits, front & back, so a nice trend for her to go sub 1:00. Congratulations to her.
I’m predicting a 50.3 in finals
50-low incoming.
