Swimming-ob: Jackl Vivien made it to the Olympics with space swimming, Milák got out for the first time

Considered to be one of the greatest talents in Hungarian swimming, Jackl improved his personal best (4:40.66 minutes) by six seconds and crossed the finish line with a time of 4:34.96, easily meeting the Paris level (4:38.53).

In this number, Jackl is the first Hungarian swimmer to secure a place at the Paris Olympics, Boglárka Kapás, who finished second, was not far behind (4:38.92). Three-time Olympic champion Katinka Hosszú finished fifth in the final (4:47.62).

The young talent from Tatabánya said after the race that he jumped into the pool with the aim of giving his all and escaping the Olympic level, but he did not think at all that he would do it so confidently. He added that Kapás and Hosszú also congratulated him after the competition, who already see him as a rival.

He also noted that he is not thinking about the Olympics yet, as he is still in his teens, and this year the European Youth Championship would have been his main competition.

Her coach, Márta Kocsis, was also searching for words: “We wanted the level, I wrote 4:37.8 in my notebook, I thought it would be 4:37.5 in the best case… Where did that come from… I don’t know… I still have to look back at the competition. I looked, but I didn’t see how it came together…”

Jackl’s time is the second best result in the world this year, he would have easily won the World Championships in Doha with this in February, and he also broke the Hungarian record in the age group of 17-year-olds. This was held by Éva Ristov from 2002, she won the silver medal among adults at the European Championships in Berlin.

Sebasztián Szabó was the first to beat Kristóf Milák at the ob.

The sprinter from Győri overtook the Olympic champion, who is competing again after a one-year absence, in the 50-meter butterfly, thus winning the event for the sixth year in a row. However, Milák took first place in the 200 meter sprint more than half an hour earlier, so he already has four gold medals.

Like Szabó, Eszter Békési was also able to enjoy her sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal, the BVSC competitor was again a gold medalist in the 200 meter breaststroke.

After meeting the Olympic level in the 200-meter medley on Tuesday, Gábor Zombori jumped into the pool with the same goal in the 400-meter race, but he was only two tenths short of the quota of 4:12.50. He still cut a second and a half off his personal best (4:14.14).

In the women’s 200 breaststroke, Pádár Nikolett deservedly won with a time of 1:56.
