Kristóf Milák finished second in his main event, the 200-meter butterfly, at the second stop in Barcelona of the Mare Nostrum international swimming competition series. Milák has never been below this number in an international competition among adults. After the final, his coach, Balázs Virth, said that although many expect Milák, he is not capable of miracles either.
His coach, Balázs Virth, evaluated it as follows:
"I can say the same thing as after the national championship: Kristóf is strong and fast, but his stamina is far from what it used to be. "
"This follows directly from the training work done so far, or maybe outsiders think he is capable of miracles, today's swimming also showed that there are laws in this sport that are difficult to override. Although the goal is Paris, it must be said that what has happened so far contains traces of Olympic preparation, since the shorter distances at the ob went relatively well, because before that he drove hard in the training camp, now also because he drove hard in Turkey, the ob- The two-and-a-half-week absence following t, on the other hand, is coming back today."
"Irrespective of this, he swam the 200m smartly, with a good schedule, but the second 50m was clearly slow. I asked him that at the next stop, in Monte-Carlo, he should try to finish the preliminaries together, and then the final will definitely go better," Balázs Virth is quoted as saying on the website of the swimming association.
