Kristof Milak and Katinka Hosszu shed light on the 3rd update on Mare Nostrum names

Hungarian swimmers Kristof Milak And Katinka Hosszu highlight the third list of swimmers who will be present at the Mare Nostrum stopover in Monaco at the beginning of June.

The meeting will take place in Monaco at the Prince Albert II swimming pool. This is the last step in a series of three steps. The first stage is planned in Canet in France on May 25 and 26. The second leg will take place in Barcelona, ​​Spain on May 29-30. The last stage in Monaco is scheduled for June 1 and 2.

The addition of Milak stands out as he spent much of last year out of competition. Milak returned to competition about a month ago at the Hungarian National Championships where he won the 100 free, 200 free, 100 fly and 200 fly. Milak is the world record holder in the LCM 200 butterfly as she swam 1:50.34 at the 2022 World Championships. He swam 1:54.90 in this event to win the Hungarian national championships.

Also on the list of Mare Nostrum participants is Katinka Hosszu. Hosszu holds the world record in the LCM women’s 200 IM, swimming 2:06.12 at the 2015 Worlds. Hosszu, 35, had initially planned to miss the Paris Olympics because she was planning to have a child. She gave birth in August 2023. She returned to competition at the Hungarian National Championships last month and finished 4th in the 200 IM, 5th in the 400 IM, and 8th in the 100 Butterfly. Hosszu returned to training in December 2023 with the aim of participating in his 6th Olympic Games in Paris.

South Korea has also been added to the list of participants. 2024 world champion in the men’s 200 freestyle Hwang Sunwoo is listed as being present as well as 2024 men’s 400 freestyle world champion Kim Woomin.
