Hubi Kos Aiming for SCM Backstroke World Records, Hopes to “Reach that level one day”

2025 SWIMMING WORLD CUP – CARMEL

Hubi Kos was the only swimmer to sweep an individual stroke (50-100-200) at the first stop of the World Cup circuit. The Texas-trained Hungarian had a slow start to his fall, only swimming 3x per week of a period of time, but now is in the full swing of things, even though he describes his status as ‘kind of tapered’. Even so, Kos has world records on his mind, noting that since he’s the fastest ever in the 100-200 backstroke in yards, he’s shooting to gain the same status in SCM.

With that logic, he’d be second behind a tapered Hubi

Harder to do at NCs if it’s his 4th 200 of the day.
