The incredible ascent of David Popovici. Foreigners were convinced. Optimistic prognosis for Los Angeles 2028

David Popovici (20 years old) is already one of the best swimmers in the world, and specialists believe that his future will be as bright as before. If everything goes well, he will participate in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, his third Olympics.

At the Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021 due to the pandemic with Covid-19), Popovici was only 17 years old and missed the bronze medal at 200 m free at a difference of only 0.02 seconds. Three years later, in Paris 2024, confirmed expectations. Won gold at 200 m free and bronze at 100 m free.

Pronostic for Los Angeles 2028: Popovici will shine

For Los Angeles 2028, everyone expects David Popovici to fight again for medals, in his favorite samples, 100 and 200 m free. Many see it as the leader of the new generation of swimmers who will dominate the competitions of the following years.

“David Popovici, the Romanian sensation to sprint problems, makes the world speak for completely different reasons. To follow him by sliding through the 100 m free sample seems extremely easy, with rhythm and ease. At just 20 years old, Popovici already holds world titles and aims to break down barriers that seemed inaccessible!“noted the international.

The new generation of swimmers

Along with David Popovici, there is a new generation of young swimmers who make waves on the international scene. These include Summer Mcintosh (18 years old, Canada), Leon Marchand (22, France) and Kaylee McKeown (24, Australia), athletes who have already achieved impressive performances, despite the early age.

At the same time, there are also a number of promising young people who have not yet reached their peak, but they can become the surprises of the following years: Maximus Williamson (19 years, USA), Audrey Derivaux (16 years, USA), Rylee Erisman (16 years, USA), Luka Mijatovic (16 years, USA), Jillian Cox (20 years, USA) and Rex Maurer (21 years). Until the Los Angeles Olympic Games, they have time to grow, mature sport and become reducible opponents for the consecrated names of world birth.
