btw, Milák said today that he will try "all" the events (in freestyle and butterfly) at the ECh, he will even swim in 400m freestyle. He also said that the Games will have  a less risky program from him, so probably the two butterfly events and maybe one in freestyle (plus the relays if we will be in the final).

@OlympicsFan Okay, it looks like you will be right about Milák and 100m freestyle. :) Apparently Csaba Sós will announce the Hungarian Olympic Swimming team on Wednesday, and there are two events where he will leave one spot open for now: men's 200m freestyle and men's 200m medley. Which means that he must be considering Milák for 200m freestyle, and I very much doubt that he would have Milák up for 4 individual events. The two open spots exist mostly because Cseh and Kozma were weak at the National Championships and they need to improve ASAP.

Well, here we go, the provisional Hungarian Olympic Swimming Team was announced. There are a few substitutes if one of the named swimmers refuse to enter in the given event. In men's 200m freestyle and 200m medley the final decision hasn't been made yet. This list also doesn't include swimmers with OSTs for obvious reasons.

 

Men's

50m freestyle - Maxim Lobanovszkij

100m freestyle - Kristóf Milák, Nándor Németh (substitute: Szebasztián Szabó)

200m freestyle - [Kristóf Milák and/or Nándor Németh and/or Dominik Kozma]

400m freestyle - Gábor Zombori

800m freestyle - Ákos Kalmár

1500m freestyle - Ákos Kalmár, Gergely Gyurta

100m backstroke - Richárd Bohus, Ádám Telegdy

200m backstroke - Ádám Telegdy

100m butterfly - Kristóf Milák, Szebasztián Szabó

200m butterfly - Kristóf Milák, Tamás Kenderesi

200m medley - Hubert Kós, [László Cseh or Péter Bernek]

400m medley - Dávid Verrasztó, Péter Bernek

 

Women's

200m freestyle - Katinka Hosszú

400m freestyle - Ajna Késely (substitutes: Katinka Hosszú, Boglárka Kapás)

800m freestyle - Ajna Késely

1500m freestyle - Ajna Késely, Boglárka Kapás (substitute: Viktória Mihályvári-Farkas)

100m backstroke - Katinka Hosszú, Katalin Burián

200m backstroke - Katinka Hosszú, Katalin Burián (substitute: Eszter Szabó-Feltóthy)

200m breaststroke - Eszter Békési

100m butterfly - Katinka Hosszú

200m butterfly - Katinka Hosszú, Boglárka Kapás (substitute: Zsuzsanna Jakabos)

200m medley - Katinka Hosszú, Dalma Sebestyén

400m medley - Katinka Hosszú

 

Hosszú will obviously not enter in 7 individual events in the end (I hope). Milák now has the freedom to decide if he wants to do 100m freestyle, Sós gave his blessing. 

 

The team will be finalized after June 19 (the final day of the Budapest Open). 

 

They also announced that 56 Hungarian swimmers will compete at the European Championships.

best of day #1

 

Freya Anderson winning the women's 200m Free in 1.56.80 (qualification standard by British Swimming), Kieran Bird qualifying in the men's 400m Free in 3.46.00, Aimee Wilmott also qualified in the women's 400 IM in 4.35.80, Harriet Jones earning the flight to Japan in the women's 100m Fly in 57.79 and finally the 2 "bombs", the world leading time by Adam Peaty in the men's 100m Breast (57.39, he's already officially named for the Olympics together with James Wilby in this discipline) and by Duncan Scott in the men's 200m IM, a stunning 1.55.90 (also Joe Litchfield qualified in this race with his 2nd place in 1.57.74)...

Day #2 Highlights

 

- James Guy, men's 200m Fly in 1.55.20 (Olympic qualification standard, literally dying in the last 10 meters or so after 180m on pace for a 1.53 swim, if not better...crazy 24.7 split at 50m)...

- Kathleen Dawson, women's 100m Back in 58.24, OQS (also the 2nd ranked, Cassie Wild, went below the OQS with 59.51)...

- Molly Renshaw, women's 200m Breast in 2.20.89, British record (and OQS, of course)...and also here the 2nd ranked, Abbie Wood, qualified to the Games with a great clocking of 2.21.69

 

pretty average races instead over the men's 100m Back and both genders' 800m Free (no qualifying standards matched)...

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
