David Popovici has decided not to participate in the 50-meter freestyle event at the Swimming World Championships.
Our athlete wants to focus solely on the 100-meter freestyle final, according to Gsp.ro.
He had already mentioned the crowded schedule at the Swimming World Championships and made this decision in order not to tire himself out physically and mentally even more.
Out of all the events, David performs the least well in the 50-meter freestyle.
He has not won any medals in this event at the senior level. His last medal in the 50-meter freestyle dates back to the 2023 European U23 Championships, where he won the bronze.
Therefore, we will only be able to see David in the Thursday final of the 100-meter freestyle, starting at 14:30.
