David Popovici started swimming at the age of 4, on the recommendation of an orthopedist. At the age of 10, he won his first national swimming title, a performance that determined him to continue practicing this sport.

Now, Popovici broke the 100 m freestyle junior world record twice, at the 2021 European Junior Swimming Championships in Rome, Italy. The performance made Popovici the fastest man in the world for 2021.

After this championship he was welcomed in Romania as a true hero, returning home with three records and four medals.

He also qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, being the youngest member of the Romanian team.

The 16-year-old showed exemplary maturity for his age and simply explained, with extraordinary modesty: "I'm just a boy who swims fast."

The world of swimming was amazed by this young Romanian, who set the best performance of the season, the 10th time in history and the 5th with the new textile equipment.

He will compete in Tokyo, determined to give his best, to get used to an Olympic final but also to have fun. Just as the Olympic spirit demands!

A star was born at Foro Italico and could win his first Olympic medal at just 16 years old!
