Kristóf Milák's time at the Hungarian National Championships in men's 200m butterfly: 1:52.50

 

That's the 5th best ever time in men's 200m butterfly.  I believe that if everything goes well the WR is within reach for him in Tokyo. He's obviously our best chance for a gold in swimming. 

 

Boglárka Kapás is also looking really strong, 2:06.85 in women's 200m buttefly, that's almost the same time she had at the 2019 Worlds where she won the gold, we can expect a new PB from her in Tokyo.

1:51.40 from Kristóf Milák in men's 200m butterfly. :yikes: 2nd fastest time ever, faster than anyone else ever, including Phelps.

Hosszú still looks kinda weak. There's always a chance for a huge improvement before the Olympics, but for now I would advise to not expect a gold medal from her in Tokyo. The COVID break was awful for her, I will be happy if she wins a medal in Tokyo.

More promising results at our National Championships:

 

Nándor Németh, men's 100m freestyle - 48.11 (almost new NR and it's only March)

 

Péter Bernek, men's 400m individual medley - 4:12.60 (PB, we can expect him to be in the Olympic final with a time like this)

    • yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss,LIthuanian tv WILL FINALLY be showing diamond league comps .
    • Good start for Canada. Cuba seems to be our biggest threat.   Unlike the men, the United States women don't seem to be progressing. Still a few years until the Olympics.
    • Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1.   Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi.   there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former.   Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo.   I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building).   So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.
