BREAKING: Hungary wins its first silver medal at 2024 Paris Olympic Games! – UPDATED: new silver medal!
Kristóf Milák won Hungary’s first silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games this evening in the 200m men’s butterfly. He was the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Champion, so many could be disappointed that he could not be first again.
In today’s final of the 200m men’s butterfly at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Kristóf Milák won silver with 1:51.75. The French Léon Marchand won with 1.51.21, a new Olympic record.
Sports leaders and the press criticised Milák before the Olympics. He disappeared in 2023 and did not talk to journalists. He said before the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Japan that he was both mentally and physically unfit to participate.
After he won the semifinals with the best time in Paris, experts said he prepared for the Olympics following his programme and asked more people to help him apart from his coach.
Congratulations on the silver!
UPDATE: Hungarian men’s sabre team wins Hungary’s second silver!
Hungarian men’s sabre team (Áron Szilágyi, András Szatmári, Csanád Gémesi, Krisztián Rabb) won Hungary’s second silver medal just minutes after Milák’s silver. Before, they won against Iran and Italy. The latter was the silver medallist in Tokyo.
Congratulations!
