Olympic 200 fly champion Kristof Milak will spearhead a Hungary squad of 13 at the European Short-Course Championships which are being held next week in Kazan, Russia.

Milak will compete at the continental 25m meet for the first time and is joined by fellow Tokyo Olympians Ajna Kesely, Katalin Burián, Szebasztián Szabó, Nándor  Németh and Hubert Kós in a squad comprising eight women and five men.

Zsuzsanna Jakabos, who competed at her fifth Games in Japan and won the first of 10 European short-course medals with bronze in the 400IM in Trieste back in 2005, is also on the team.

However, neither Katinka Hosszu nor Boglarka Kapas will travel to Kazan for the championships that run from 2-7  November.

The team will also feature a number of emerging swimmers who raced at the European Junior Championships earlier this year.
