Pacy Popovici puts 100 metres freestyle rivals on notice

The Hindu  

Romanian wunderkind David Popovici underlined his credentials for Olympic gold in the men’s 100 metres freestyle as he claimed the European title on Wednesday with a blistering swim that threatened Pan Zhanle’s world record. The 19-year-old clocked 46.88 seconds in the Belgrade pool, the third fastest swim in history and 0.08 seconds off the world mark set by China’s Pan at the World Championships in Doha in February. Popovici now has two of the top three 100m swims of all-time, having set the previous world record of 46.86 at the 2022 European Aquatics Championships. Jack Alexy, the world silver medallist from Fukuoka last year, was fastest in the 100m heats at the U.S. trials with a time of 47.08 and will battle Olympic champion Caeleb Dressel in the final.
