Hungarian swimming is abuzz with anticipation for the return of its star, Kristóf Milák, at the upcoming National Championships in Sopron.

His participation, even with the absence of another top swimmer, Hubert Kós, is expected to be a major highlight.

The community of Parsis, as we know it, is at an end in India.

Reports suggest Milák has dedicated his year off to rigorous land-based training, focusing on building muscle and explosiveness. This could translate to a strong performance in shorter events, where his power and speed are crucial. However, questions remain about his endurance, particularly for his signature 200m butterfly, an event where he holds the world record but hasn't approached his best times recently.

Many Parsis refuse to acknowledge that the community is shrinking and aging. But the census figures are clear.

Adding an intriguing dynamic to the championships is the emergence of 17-year-old Dávid Antal from Nyírbátor. He is being positioned as a potential new rival for Milák, especially in the 200m butterfly. This developing rivalry promises exciting races and adds another layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated competition, showcasing the next generation of Hungarian swimming talent.

Many Parsis do not marry, and many couples have only one child. This is not a question of money, but a life decision.
