From 2019 to 2022 Kristof Milak was on top of the world when it came to swimming butterfly. But since then there have been multiple reports about a lack of Olympic preparation ahead of Paris. But what do the results themselves tell us?
Based on the results, I have to believe he has been training. Maybe someone feels he's not working hard enough, and that's been exaggerated into saying he's skipping training entirely. Or, maybe things have gotten so rocky with his coach that he's training on his own. Regardless, the way his coach constantly badmouths him to the press seems terrible to me, even if it is true. I hope it is some 4D chess that Milak's bought into. Otherwise it just sets him up to be hated regardless of his Paris results. No gold, people will say he threw away his talent and the hopes of his country. Two golds, and he's undeserving because he didn't work for it, and just imagine how much better he could been. One gold, and people will say both at the same time.
But don't you think his coach is right? I mean he missed 32 out 38 training sessions. That is pretty bleak for an Olympic champion, where all these other guys like Lienodo or Dressel are putting in the miles to win olympic gold
@@swimmerabs22 as a coach myslef, sure if that is the case. But I wouldn't be advertising it to his competitors. But his sets are some of the more consistently insane sets I have ever seen. And the efficacy is questionable of such consistently punishing volume and intensity.
@@swimmerabs22 There is no proof that he wasn't training at all, it just the media reporting he missed trainings with his coaching team. There were rumours in Hungarian media that he was training at a different pool, and the he even went to Australia. No one knows what is the real truth but judging from his times it is hard to believe he missed so many trainings.
Milak started training in January, he completely let go of last year as well, his father also died. If Milák is in 100 percent form, the French have no chance
