The 2024 European Aquatics Championships is on the calendar for June, with pool swimming action taking place in Belgrade, Serbia June 17th through June 23rd.
The multi-discipline competition arrives about a month before the all-important Olympic Games in Paris, France.
The Hungarian Swimming Federation has released its 33-strong roster headed to Belgrade, with the squad comprised of 18 females and 15 males.
World record holder Kristof Milak headlines the lineup, set to race in the 50m/100m/200m distances of both freestyle and butterfly.
His nomination comes on the heels of reports the 24-year-old has had inconsistent training, reportedly missing 32 out of 38 training sessions since last month’s Hungarian Championships.
At that Olympic qualifying competition, Milak turned in results including:
- 50m free – 21.89 Olympic Qualification
- 100m free – 48.38
- 200m free – 1:48.15
- 50m fly – 23.44
- 100m fly – 50.99 Olympic Qualification
- 200m fly – 1:54.90 Olympic Qualification
Also named among the Hungarian contingent for Belgrade is Adam Telegdy, the 28-year-old who notched a lifetime best of 1:55.57 in the men’s 200m back at the Hungarian Championships. That rendered him Hungary’s #2 performer of all-time, sitting only behind Hubert Kos who will be bypassing the European Championships.

I think the Hungarian media is playing smoke and mirrors to make others let their guard down
Breaking news, Hubi Kos will swim 50 and 100 fly, 50 and 100 back, 200 IM and will take part in relays at the Europeans.

In this case I’m really love this noname dislike 🙂 Funny.
Do we think he’ll actually swim at the European Championships? My bet is he’ll scratch out.
Cant wait to see this alleged absentee from training post more world leeding times 😍🚭
I kinda feel him and his team are messing with the media, saying he’s not training. Guess we will find out
Yeah the whole thing seems kinda sus
They’re trying to make Marchand swim the double and expect to win neither
I think Leon won’t swim both. But won’t win any of tham.
The whole Michael Phelps bowman concept of “for every missed practice, you need 2 more to get back to the point you were at” doesn’t work for everyone, especially when their heart is not in it. My guess is that he took a break similar to dressels and then it was exaggerated in the media that he was being lazy and all that
“No Practice Milak”
The Hungarian Media has been ruthless with Milak countless times in the past, hopefully they are just making up rumors again
His results here will be telling regarding the validity of these missing workouts rumors
Right, he’ll probably need a 1:53 to win. If he can do that – there no way he hasn’t been training
Who will swim arround 1:54 low. Leon will be swimming at home. Ponti, Razzetti,, etc.?
No way.
We talking about practice? What are we talking about here? Practice???
If only We did the same.
