Kristóf Milák secured Hungary’s third gold at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with a fantastic swimming in the 100m men’s butterfly. His time was below 50 seconds.

Milák could win Olympic gold in two consecutive Olympic Games like Krisztina Egerszegi and Tamás Darnyi. Before, he secured Hungary’s first silver in men’s 200m butterfly. Afterwards, many seemed disappointed since they expected him to defend his first place earned in 2021 in Tokyo.
