The press in the United States of America has its eyes on David Popovici (19 years old) at the 2024 Olympic Games.
Popovici qualified for the final of the 200-meter freestyle event with the best time in the heats, and Americans are eager to see his performance in the final, in the battle for medals.
American journalists claim that "it is destined" for Popovici to become an Olympic champion, after starting a meteoric rise two years ago.
"In Paris, the Romanian star seems ready to conquer the gold. Popovici is on the verge of becoming an Olympic champion, a status that seemed destined for him as early as 2021. The question is how fast he can be. His best time is 1:42:97," as stated in the article published by experts at Swimming World Magazine.
David Popovici could win his first Olympic medal in his career, as he is already a multiple European champion and a double world champion.
