    Popovici is the best. This guy dropped the 3rd fastest 100 free of all time yet this 200 free is even better. That time wins the Olympics - easily, not even close. Untapered.
    All the haters who said he wasn't gonna get back to his best are quiet now.
    Brette Hawke posted this on insta and someone asked what his tempo is. The reply: "perfect".

      I love how people forgot about him or discounted him like they knew better before he turned 19: "He's past his prime" "He won't get faster in the 100 unless he lifts weights and significantly increases power" "His head position is wrong"

    That's extremely impressive. Can he beat Biedemann's super suit World Record if he is pushed by another swimmer in Paris? I think he can.

      @@magda6446 true. I noticed that. Why did not the French move theirs. They could have used this championship as part of their Olympic qualifying since I understand you can enter 4 swimmer from each country. This way many of them ended up with medals too.

      Actually, higher water density helps with propulsion and better buoyancy. I have no idea what your comment is about.

      I am from Romania. I followed his interviews in romanian and I can tell you he is very strict with doping. He has a very strict diet and his parents supervise everything to make sure he does't do like Halep. In fact, concerning the Halep doping case, he said that the athlete bares the responsability of checking his foods and suppliments.
      I am no scientist, but my best guess is that doping would increase his muscle mass. But I don't see big changes on his body the last years except passing into adulthood... Anyway... It's your opinion... I am waiting for some proofs... It is so easy to say he is cheating, but I would venture a guess that this opinion is more about your inner insecurities than about him :-) See.. I am going freudian on you :-)
