Milák reflects on double after gold: 'What if I also trained?!'

Kristóf Milák reflected on his butterfly gold medal victory at the European Aquatics Championships, stating his happiness with the win even though his time was not as strong as in his individual event. He admitted to being surprised by his ability to out-pace his Russian rival in the final stretch. Milák highlighted the impact of Németh's powerful swim, which propelled the relay team from fifth to second place, as a significant morale booster. During his own leg of the relay, Milák confessed to some anxiety about initiating his final sprint too early. Regarding his gold medal in the butterfly, Milák mentioned that he and his coach, Szabó Álmos, had anticipated a similar time. He expressed no frustration over not breaking the world record, concluding with a lighthearted remark, "What if I also trained?!" Milák is scheduled to compete in the 50-meter freestyle preliminaries on Saturday morning. The Hungarian delegation has achieved a notable success at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, accumulating four gold, six silver, and three bronze medals. With three competition days left, the team is poised to further improve its medal count. Milák's participation in the 50-meter freestyle offers another opportunity for the Hungarian team to add to its tally.
