The European Aquatics Championships in Paris have seen significant success for the Hungarian contingent, particularly following Kristóf Milák’s strategic shift toward sprint events.

Milák secured two gold medals during the competition. In the 100m butterfly, he set a new European record with a time of 49.48 seconds, finishing only three hundredths of a second behind the world record. He also led the Hungarian men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team—comprising Hubert Kós, Szebasztián Szabó, Nándor Németh, and Milák—to a historic victory. The team clocked 3:10.03, breaking the Hungarian national record and marking the nation’s first European Championship win in this event.

Additional Hungarian achievements include Hubert Kós winning the 200m backstroke gold with a European record time of 1:52.30, and Milák earning a bronze medal in the 100m freestyle with a time of 46.87 seconds.

Earlier in the championships, Milák had qualified for the 50m butterfly semifinals, while other Hungarian athletes like Vivien Jackl, Fanni Kokas, and Eszter Szabó-Feltóthy also advanced through various heats.
