It was another exciting day of racing in Budapest! Kristof Milak claimed his second World title in the 200 butterfly and second World Record, in front of a home crowd no less. Nic Fink and Bobby Finke won gold for Team USA in two very different events, the men’s 50 breaststroke and 800 freestyle, respectively, with Fink also going on to win the mixed 4 x 100 medley relay via a clutch breaststroke split.

Wellbrock hosting Romanchuk is the sweetest, kindest story of the year, deserves its own documentary and movie with all proceeds going to refugees
I remember when Bobo Gigi -non stop – hyped up Luca Orlando as the next Michael Phelps.

A video where an American didn’t medal. Taking about some progress there
Milak gave his hometown fans a performance to remember. The ovation they gave him in response to his spectacular WR swim was a beautiful moment in the sport of swimming.
I always love the home crowd when their athlete wins. Always goes ballistic.
