He repeated as Belgian champion in 2012.[3][4]

Milanov broke his own Belgian record again in Kessel-Lo on 25 April 2015, throwing 66.43 m and meeting the qualification standard for the 2015 World ChampionshipsinBeijing.[7] In July 2015 he won gold with 64.15 m at the World University GamesinGwangju, South Korea.[8] He unexpectedly scored his first Diamond League victory two weeks later at the London Grand Prix; in rainy conditions, he threw 65.14 m to defeat a field that included Diamond Race leader Piotr Małachowski of Poland.[9][10] In August 2015 he broke again his Belgian record and met the qualification standard for the 2016 Olympic Games.[11] On 29 August 2015 at the World Championships in Beijing, where he took silver, Milanov, improved his national record to 66.90 m.[12]
