Kristof Milak tied his own Mare Nostrum series record today in Barcelona, clocking a 50.95 in the 100m butterfly to best the field by 1 full second. Of note, this was Milak’s 2nd swim of the finals session, having competed in the 50 free final about 20 minutes prior. In that final, Milak was 22.25, missing the podium by .01 to place 4th.
Not bad for someone that’s been living on the couch for the last 2 years
As a swimmer with that much talent, Milak can still fake a 100 fly, but tomorrow 200 fly will be a test if he’s done enough work.
Bully!
the power coming from his hips is incredible. That transfer of energy from the core to the toes is remarkable.
Someone remind me- what did Dressel just go? 51 low, right? Either way, looks exciting for Paris whoever races this guy.
50.8 at the last pro series and 51 low in Atlanta.
Washed
c’mahn
You are such a mischievous trickster. 😆
I can’t even remember why I started this highly specific bit
Even I of all people would not call him washed
Milak wipes Biederfraud all day big bro
Yall still think he’s not training?
He’s probably training different. Possibly less yardage more race focus. Whatever it is… it’s working
Who’s the favorite for Paris?
Milak or Liendo
Or Dressel. His in-season form is also very promising.
it’s kinda weird to not see Dressel as the guy to beat, given what we’ve seen this season. Of course it will be a great race, with 6 or 7 legit contenders.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if any of the 8 finalists win.
That’s how much dept the men’s 100 fly right now. Arguably the event with the deepest depth.
Weird to put Milak over Dressel when Dressel has shown historically larger tapers, a faster PR, and fast in season times. Ofc it’s not that far of a gap and the top 6 or so are very concentrated- Ponti, Grousset, Temple, Dressel, Liendo, Milak. Possible outside shot in Rose.
dude is so talented that it doesnt matter all that much. If he shows up and feels good, hes going to ruin someone’s night.
I heard he’s doing the 50 free a day for 100 days program.
I understood that reference!
Maybe 100 why a day program
