  • A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.

Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

The Hungarian men's 4x100 freestyle relay team won the gold medal at the European Championships in Paris with a European record time of 3:10,03. The team consisted of Hubert Kós, Szebasztián Szabó, Nándor Németh, and Kristóf Milák. Németh moved the team into second place with a personal best of 47,27, and Milák secured the victory as the anchor leg with a time of 46,29, beating the Russian team by nine hundredths of a second.

Earlier on the same day, Kristóf Milák won the gold medal in the 100 meter butterfly with a time of 49,48. This performance set a European record and was only three hundredths of a second away from the world record held by Caeleb Dressel. Milák finished ahead of France's Grousset and Switzerland's Noé Ponti, while Hubert Kós finished fourth.

In a post race interview, Milák joked about his training and expressed pride in Németh's performance. Németh praised Milák as a class swimmer whose abilities should not be wasted. Other results from the championships included a world record in the 50 meter backstroke by Sara Curtis and a gold medal for Seemanova in the 200 meter freestyle.
