The Hungarian women’s 4×100 free relay swam to a new national record in finals at the 2025 World Championships. The team of Minna Abraham, Petra Senanszky, Panna Ugrai, and Nikolett Padar touched in a 3:36.34. That broke the group’s own Hungarian record of a 3:36.77 that they swam last summer at the 2024 European Championships.

The group has now broken the record twice in just 13 months. Prior to 2024, the Hungarian record had not been touched in 15 years as the previous record stood at a 3:37.64 from 2009 Worlds. The 2009 record included Katinka Hosszu.

Split Comparison

The biggest difference tonight was Minna Abraham who led off in a 53.97. Not only was this faster than she was last summer (54.43) but she also went from a flat start this time compared to a flying start last summer. Petra Senanszky was almost a second faster today than last summer, partially aided by a flying start.

Hungary was the 8th seed entering the women’s 4×100 free relay so they matched their seed while they are the #6 seed in the women’s 4×200 free relay later this week.
