Phelps hails 'incredible' Milak after losing world record via SABCNewsOnline

Hungary's 19-year-old Kristof Milak sliced 0.78 seconds off Michael Phelps's previous world best in the 200m butterfly event, at the 2019 World Championships in South Korea

Phelps described Milak’s time of one minute, 50.73 seconds in Gwangju as “incredible”, although he admitted his astonishment was tinged with sadness at losing a world record which had stood since 2009. “It happened because there was a kid who wanted to do it, who dreamed of doing it, who figured out what it would take to do it,” said Phelps, who had a special fondness for the 200m fly.

Milak became the first swimmer to go under 1:51 minutes, while his winning margin was, remarkably, more than three seconds as Japan’s Daiya Seto finished a distant second and the South African Chad le Clos third.
