Hungarian distance ace and Arizona State sophomore Zalan Sarkany has a sensational weekend of racing, going 4-for-4 and clocking best times in each of his 4 swims. Versus Stanford, he went 8:38 and 4:13 in the 1000 and 500 free, while at Cal the next day he went 8:37 and 4:12.

Sarkany took the fall off to train in his home of Hungary and focus on qualifying for the Olympics, which he did in the 1500. He also broke the Hungarian record in the 800 free (SCM) in November during that time.

Just think how fast he’d be if he didn’t breathe the first stroke off every wall! 🤦🏻

Hmm, it sounds like he thinks he can do much better in the mile still. Or the 500 for that matter.
I would also like to see him race the 400 IM – he improved his SCM best time; makes me think he could break 3:40 in SCY.
