Jaise hi is baar ke summer mei David Popovici ne speed bdhate huye apne past aur older rivals ko peeche kiya hai, tab se hi sbko ye pata toh chal hi gya tha ki 17-year-old ka ye swimmer yhin nhi rukne wala hai, ye bahot aage jayega. Par Rome mei unhone 100m freestyle mei jo world record break kiya hai wo bhi itni fast wo kisi surprise se km nhi tha.
Friday ko, Popovici fourth man bnn gye history mei jinhone 47 sec ke under swim kiya aur Rome mei chal rhi European Championship mei unhone European record set krte huye semi-final bhi jeeta.
Ye Popovici ke June mei World Championship mei gold medal time se bhi half second se jyad faster tha.
Saturday ko wo aur bhi quicker the, 46.86s ke sath swimming krte huye unhone Brazilian Cesar Cielo ke set kiye gye record ko bhi 0.05sec se cut kiya. Ye record Cesar ne bhi 2009 mei World Championship mei hi banaya th jo ki Rome mei hi ho rhi thi.
“Kal maine bola tha ki European record bass ek right direction ki duri pr hai- aur mai shi
tha. Koi jaldbaazi nhi thi aur mujhe world record ke liye extremely patient rhna tha,” Popovici ne victory ke baad kaha.
Budapest mei hui World Championships mei Popovici ke Caeleb Dressel ko bhi outpaced kr diya tha. But Olympic Champion ne semis ke phle khud ko competition se withdrew kr liya tha.
“Ye shi hota hai khan ki mai fastest tha aur ye achi baat hhai ki is race ke titans ke sath clash kiya.”
Unke coach Adrian Radulescu ne kaha ki wo bhi Popovici ke speed ki progress se kaafi surprised the.
“Ye amazing hai ki itne jldi ho rha hai,” Radulescu ne kaha.
Thursday ko ye puche jane pr ki aisa kya h jo ki Popovici ko successful banata hai, toh unhone bola ki success price ke sath aata hai.
“Jab Erling Haaland, football player, ko yhi same question pucha gya, toh unhone bola, ‘hard work’ aur uske sath bhot sara sacrifice aur ye sab last mei ek question pr aa kr tikta hai ki how badly do u want it, badly!”
“Aap aisa kya krne ko taiyar hai jo baaki log nhi kr rhe hai? Isme complete different style ke sath jeena bhi include hai.”
Is summer, Popovici ne World Championships aur European Junior Championships ko apne home town, Bucharest mei completely dominate kiya.
Rome ke baad unka plan Lima mei hone wali world junior championships ko head krna hai.
Popovici ka already ek nickname hai: ‘The Magician’
“Mai magic ko le kr passionate rhta tha jb mai chhota tha, wo card tricks aur illusions in sb ko le kr but ab nhi rhta hun. Swimming ke phle ye ek chhoti si hobby thi meri,” unhone explain krte huye kaha.
“Par haan kuch logo ne magician isliye bolna start kiya q ki shyd unhe lgta hai ki pool mei aise kaarname krta hun mai. But mujhe nhi lgta hai ki ye mujhe represent krta hai. Mai khud ko ek simple guy smjhta hun jo bss fast swim krta hai.”
