Milák's coach reveals swimmer's specialized training, discusses Olympic future

Kristóf Milák's coach, Álmos Szabó, has shed light on the swimmer's unique training regimen and his impressive current form. Szabó emphasized that Milák's success is not due to effortless training, stating, "No one should take seriously that the swimmer performs at this level without training." He described Milák's approach as "special work, different from the textbook," incorporating several new techniques that the swimmer has adapted exceptionally well.

Szabó expressed his good fortune in coaching Milák, highlighting the swimmer's comprehensive talent. "He has all the talent factors," Szabó said. "He is swimming personal bests at twenty-six years old, he has never been this fast." The coach believes Milák still has more potential to unlock. Milák recently secured gold in the 100m butterfly and bronze in the 100m freestyle at the European Championships, also competing in the 4x100m freestyle relay.

While Milák's achievements are notable, Szabó remains measured when discussing the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. "I think there is still potential in these [distances]. It is very, very promising, but for now, I don't want to look ahead to the Olympics," Szabó stated. He believes that while Milák excels in the 100m and 200m butterfly and freestyle, the 50m distances require further technical refinement, though he feels his speed is good for the 50m freestyle.
