Hubert Kos (51.48) Claims Top Seed Ahead Of Kristof Milak In 100 Fly

2025 HUNGARIAN NATIONAL SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

The final day of the 2025 Hungarian National Swimming Championships is upon us, which means we’ll be treated to several more medal-contending races during tonight’s finals.

The men’s 100m fly is among the contests and 22-year-old Hubert Kos has eyes on another gold as he captured the top seed in this morning’s heats.

Kos stopped the clock at a speedy mark of 51.48, the sole sub-52-second result of the field.

The Texas Longhorn opened in 23.88 and closed in 27.60 to land lane four, nabbing the 6th-best time of his career in the process.

Kos’ lifetime best rests at the 50.84 he produced at last year’s Pro Swim Series stop in San Antonio.

However, Kos’ path to the top of the podium isn’t clear-cut, as fellow Olympic champion Kristof Milak is in the hunt.

Milak hit a casual morning mark of 52.97 to put himself in a solid position.

Richard Marton and Zoltan Bagi tied in 53.94 to try to set themselves up for success at tonight’s main event.

Additional NOtes

  • Panna Ugrai captured the top seed of the women’s 100m fly, posting 1:00.05. She’s been as fast a 58.76 in her career from October 2023. She’ll need to be even faster than that in order to clear the World Aquatics ‘A’ standard of 58.33 needed for Singapore.
  • Dora Molnar of USC was the fastest performer in the heats of the women’s 200m back. She posted 2:13.30 to hold over a second advantage over Eszter Szabo-Feltothy who will flank her tonight in 2:14.47. Katalin Burian, the 30-year-old veteran, will be on the other side, courtesy of her 2:14.66 prelim. 16-year-old 400m IM champion Vivien Jackl is also lurking in the field.

Hungary need male breastroker ASAP!!
28.7
1:02.7
2:17.4
these winning times just doesn’t seem right, they have Kos (52.2), Milak (49.9) and Nemeth (47.5) if they find breastroker that can go at least ~60 they could easily be a top 5 contender

I wonder if Somov who swam for Russia but is swimming “unattached” could find a landing spot there? New rules allow for only 1 year to establish residence so he could be a huge pickup for their relay. (Yeah this is all insane to even think of it but this is kind of a unique situation)

I would actually cry if we managed to nab Somov.

50.55 for Hubi, 50.67 for Milak. It looks like if there is someone worth racing, Milak can throw down a solid time.

23.68/26.87 for Hubi
24.15/26.52(!!) for Milak

So I’m going to reinterpret that 1:56.1 200 fly as race practice.

He is apart of the greatest guys training groups that’s active but he’s not the greatest active male swimmer in the world let alone in his training group. (Already forgetting Leon exists apparently).
