Day three of the 2026 Hungarian National Championships was highlighted by Olympic champion and world record holder Kristof Milak diving in for his first races since the 2025 edition of this competition.

However, it was two age-group swimmers who stole the show this evening in Sopron, with Zsombor Petroczki and David Antal each taking down national records held by very notable Olympic names.

First in the men’s 100m breast, 18-year-old Petroczki clocked a time of 1:01.01 to claim the top seed from tonight’s semi-finals.

Splitting 28.56/32.45, Petroczki’s time not only earned him a huge new personal best but it also erased the 1:01.70 age record Olympic champion Daniel Gyurta put on the books in 2007.

Entering this competition, Petriczki’s career-swiftest performance checked in at the 1:04.19 logged last June, so the teen obliterated that time with tonight’s head-turning swim.

Then, in the men’s 50m fly final, 17-year-old David Antal claimed bronze in a time of 23.67, tying Richard Marton who touched simultaneously.

Milak brought home the gold in 23.03 with national record holder Szebasztian Szabo right behind in 23.14.

As for Antal, his time tonight is a new PB, slicing .17 off the 23.84 he produced in June 2024.

Antal’s bronze medal-worthy result overtook Milak’s age record of 23.17 that he established in 2017, pairing this piece of hardware from the 200m fly gold he already earned.
