David Popovici un talent imens al natatiei romanesti

[miril]

Un talent de 16 ani despre care s-a vorbit multa vreme este pe cale sa cucereasca lumea inotului mondial. Un Thorpe in devenire, vorbesc specialistii in domeniu. Speram ca o va dovedi chiar incepand cu JO din Japonia. Inteligent, frumos, calculat si serios! Mult succes, David!

Nu intereseaza pe nimeni!
David Popovici a cucerit, pentru ROMANIA, medalia de aur in proba de 200 m liber la CE de inot pentru juniori de la Roma. David a stabilit un nou record mondial, european si al competitiei de juniori. Este a treia medalie cucerita de sportivul roman la aceasta competitie, dupa argintul cu stafeta Romaniei de 4x100 m si aurul in proba de 100 m liber...toate pentru ROMANIA.
Si nu in ultimul rand este un copil cu mult bun simt, dar nu intereseaza pe nimeni.

Felicitari, David!

[Duba]

Nu e vorba ca nu intereseaza pe nimeni. Chestiuna e ca a aparut din neant si nu-l prea cunoaste lumea, iubitorii de sport. Pana acum se vorbea de Robert Glina, cum ca el este speranta noastra la JO. Popovici a realizat, e adevarat, performante extraordinare (record mondial si medalii de aur) la juniori. Sa vedeam daca nu-i un foc de paie. Sa vedem daca la nivel de seniori, cand se va confrunta cu rusi, americani, australieni si ce-or mai fi, va obtine aceleasi performante sau macar o medalie.

[miril]

Este cunoscut foarte bine in lumea inotului mondial la categoria juniori. Performantele lui s-au imbunatatit tot timpul la nivel mondial pe categorie de varsta spulberand recordurile si detasanduse net de concurenti. A confirmat pana acum, cred ca va confirma si de acum incolo. O medalie la 100 de metri la JO nu ar fi o surpriza. Sa-i tinem pumnii si sa-i uram bafta.

[delaoltenia]

Cred ca va fi singura medalie, atat de rau ne-am dus in jos. Sa fie cu mult noroc pentru pustiul nostru . :ok:

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Robert Glință, de la Dinamo Bucuresti. 1%2 din portdrapelul Romaniei la Tokyo. Pt cretini, poate invață macar sa ii scrie numele corect.

Cred ca va fi singura medalie, atat de rau ne-am dus in jos. Sa fie cu mult noroc pentru pustiul nostru . :ok:

Avem sanse si la canotaj.

Stai asa, ca poate nu ai inteles:

DI-NA-MO BU-CU-RESCI! :rasc:

Un baiat exceptional, ma mir sincer cum inca ne mai reprezinta si nu e deja ministru al sportului pe undeva, ca doamna inotatoare oricum mai putin talentata, Maracineanu.

Uite ca azi ne mandrim cu sportul departamental, ca asa suntem noi sensibili.

בראבו, דוד, אנחנו גאים בך :ok:

[delaparis]

Sa nu fim rai cu Roxana care si ea a fost campioana mondiala. Si tot la 200m ... dar pe dos :)
Sigur ca a concurat pt Franta atunci dar tot performanta a natatiei romanesti se numeste. Si in plus este o femeie inteligenta si invidiata aici in Franta. De asta este si contestata de xenofobii campioni mondiali, ei, francezii. :rolleyes:

Popovici a mai facut un record dar noi suntem la fel de impotenti si mincinosi in amarata asta de tara.
ce sa mai zic, ma bucur cand vad sleahta de politicieni care se gudura pe langa pustiul minune si nu in ultimul rand salut directorul tembeliziunii publice care bine merci sta in pestera.

Meet David Popovici, the ‘new Thorpedo’ who can change the face of freestyle

David Popovici, a 17-year-old Romanian, is taking the World Championships by storm and wants to “make the impossible possible”

When Ian Thorpe, the king of 200m freestyle swimming, this week honoured a promise to the Romanian 17-year-old David Popovici to show up in Budapest and hand him the gold medal should he win the world title, it felt like something of an anointment.

In 1998, a 15-year-old Thorpe, on a trajectory to Olympic immortality, became the youngest world champion ever, over 400m. Now, all eyes are on the “new Thorpedo” — a teenage talent who is outpacing his older, more experienced peers and possesses the same physical attributes and tactical acumen that made the Australian freestyler an all-time great.

Popovici was born a month after the legendary Race of the Century, the 200m freestyle final at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Thorpe won that day ahead of Pieter van den Hoogenband and Michael Phelps — all three setting a blistering pace. Yet the 1min 43.21sec in which Popovici claimed his first senior world title on Monday — with Britain’s Olympic champion, Tom Dean, taking bronze — was a full second and a half quicker than Thorpe on that day nearly 18 years ago.

Popovici’s time was the fourth fastest in history — quicker than anything Thorpe managed and the second fastest, behind Phelps, since streamlined suits were banned in 2009. The teenager then returned to the pool on Wednesday to win a second gold, in the 100m freestyle, to become the youngest world champion in that event since 1975. His time of 47.58sec was behind the 47.13sec world junior record he set in semi-final.

Popovici’s time was the fourth fastest in history — quicker than anything Thorpe managed and the second fastest, behind Phelps, since streamlined suits were banned in 2009. Back home in Bucharest, they were referring to Popovici as a “once-in-every-100-years talent”, long before a 2021 season in which he claimed three golds at the European Junior Championships, two years after he showed promise with one gold and two silvers at the European Youth Olympic Festival, aged 14, in 2019.

At the Tokyo Olympics last year he finished fourth in the 200m freestyle, only 0.02sec shy of the medals as Dean and Duncan Scott made it a British one-two.

Less than a year on, Popovici is swimming a second faster than Dean or Scott. By the time he races in the last days of his teenage years at the Paris Olympics in 2024, he is expected to have taken the pace of freestyle to a new dimension. Even the enduring 100m and 200m world records of 46:91 and 1:42.00 — set by César Cielo and Paul Biedermann respectively in banned “shiny suits” in 2009 — are no longer considered to be safe.

Popovici and his coaches have kept a book of goals for a number of years. They include aims that some in his entourage of coach, strength coach, kinesiotherapist, video analyst and nutritionist describe as “absolutely ridiculous” yet not unachievable. His father, Mihai, says his son is out to prove that “what was thought to be impossible can become possible”.

Popovici started swimming at the age of four. His parents were keen to find an outlet for his endless energy but swimming was also chosen on a doctor’s recommendation to help correct early stage scoliosis, a condition in which the spine twists and curves a touch out of line.

Popovici was in his element. Aged eight, he wrote down in a notebook that he would like to swim at the Olympics and, at nine, he told his father: “I want to win medals too.”

The same year, he met “Mr Adi”, as he still calls his coach, Adrian Radulescu, a former swimmer with a PhD in athletic performance. Here in Budapest this week, Radulescu told The Times of his protégé: “He is self-motivated, so easy to work with. He’s obviously very talented and he’s really dedicated to his work and his dreams to be better every day.

“He always trains for his goals. He knows where he is during a race and afterwards he assesses whether he’s done well — a good job, or not.”
It was not always so. Radulescu recalls a restless, mischievous child who was easily bored. Popovici would find excuses to have a rest: play with his goggles, ask to go to the bathroom, say he had a headache, a stomach ache, a pain in his shoulder. But when he felt the urge there would be bursts of “incredible speed”. From an early age, Popovici was the king of “minimum effort, maximum impact”, as his coach puts it.

Andreea Giuclea, a Romanian journalist who has followed his career, said: “You could tell it wasn’t just because he was taller. OK, he was tall, but so were others. He wasn’t the strongest. He couldn’t do a push-up, others could do 100. There was clearly something else at play there.”

The swimmer’s mother, Georgeta, a psychologist, summed up the environment in which her son grew up at the pool. “He [the coach] never reprimanded him,” she said. Instead, Radulescu patiently waited to understand how he could bring out the boy’s competitive streak in training — to encourage him to dig deep and make the best of his gifts.

In the process, Radulescu concluded that Popovici was someone who needed every part of the plan explained. Once the youngster understood why hard training hurt and what he would get out of it, the corner was turned and there was no looking back.

Trust was paramount. “If I didn’t trust him, I couldn’t push myself so hard at every practice until I feel terribly sick,” Popovici said. “But knowing that something good comes after it, I can go through almost anything.” He also found it fun to win and break records, the first of which fell to him at ten, a national age-group 50m backstroke record that had stood for 24 years.

Radulescu’s descriptions of Popovici’s development years have key parallels with the Race of the Century trio. The coach cites the swimmer’s parents as the foundation of his success story.

“Parents want certainty. And sport — as in David’s case, at least until July 2021 — is uncertain,” Radulescu told Giuclea in an interview. “People can’t wait.” But Popovici’s parents waited, adhered to the process and stuck to the same consistent messages throughout the swimmer’s early years.

His friends nicknamed him “the magician” because of his love of playing cards in between races. Most competition weekends ended with a trip to the Ikea canteen on the way home: David liked the cake there and he got a slice whether he had done well or not.

“I don’t like to speak about potential around him or even praise him,” his mother told Giuclea, “I’m so detached that the poor kid, when he sets a new record, looks at me and says: ‘Are you even aware of what I’ve achieved?’”

Her role, she says, is to ask about his homework. Two weeks before travelling to Budapest for the World Championships, Popovici had an English exam. He thought it might be a distraction but his mother insisted that lessons and the tests that come with them are a part of life.

His physical attributes are a key component of what makes Popovici a swimmer fit to make a porpoise blush — he has size 14 feet, hands like shovels, no hips and curves to speak of and resist the water, stands 1.90m tall and boasts another Phelpsian dimension — a wingspan, fingertip to stretched-out fingertip, of just over 2m. For all that, however, it is Popovici’s attitude that Radulescu believes marks him out from the rest.

After the Tokyo Olympics, he became famous back home as the 16-year-old talent who had nothing negative to say about fourth place. He gave interviews, attended events, received awards and was a social-media sensation. Then, last autumn, he cut out all social media, changed his number and stopped interviews. In a rare one this year, he told Giuclea: “Do I want to be more famous or a better swimmer? It’s important for people to hear what I have to say, but that time will come after I’ve done all I can in the pool.”

Happy to have had his medal presented by Thorpe, Popovici was not star-struck and seems to have a wisdom beyond his years.

“He kept his promise and it was an honour to shake his hand,” Popovici told The Times. “I’d love to talk to him more and get some more insight. He’s been in my place, or a bigger place than me breaking world records at a young age, so I know I have a lot to learn from him.”

Din pacate multe patartele greu de corijat care sunt de fapt '...'

[Capitanu.Burcea]

A explicat foarte decent presedintele Rtv faptul ca propunerea de achizitie a acestui event s-a facut in urma cu 2 ani, la un pret promotional. Bineinteles, a fost refuzata ferm de partea română, din motive care merg de la hidrocefalie, pana la incultura si dezinteres cras. Care e nemultumirea, ca Turturel a platit de 15 ori mai mult decat ar fi trebuit sa achite Gradea, acum 2 ani? Platim, daca suntem cretini!

Popovici a fost ridiculizat in presa, cautati editorialul plin de umor sătesc al gunoiului de Vochin, dupa locul 7 de la olimpiada! De doua saptamani s-au trezit si romanii ca au campion 🤡 si oracaie ca nu pot vedea competitia. Cand le-a dat Turturel semifinala la 100, aceasta a facut rating 0,3%. 0,3,mă!!

Sa multumim clubului sportiv Dinamo Bucuresti :rasc: pt ca a pescuit aceasta perlă, dupa refuzurile penibile ale cs-ului spurcat si al echipei primariei capitalei. Si a redat putin orgoliu in boaşe acestui popor!

PS. Si sa ia cu pâine nenorocitul ala in putrefactie, care are totusi indecența de a disparea din peisaj, fiind vorba despre un sportiv al clubului Dinamo Bucuresti :rasc: Cum ne-ar fi anuntat el, cu botul plin de par pubian, supcesurili maretului club al armatii, auuuu 🤣😄🤣😄🤣

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Iata cum a fost ironizat Popovici, la nici 17 ani impliniti, in gazeta mizerabilului sarpe cu ochelari!

Sa cititi si comentariile. Fac pariu ca 90 % dintre gunoaiele astea nu mai prididesc sa spuna oricui cat de mare e Popovici si cat de mandri sunt de compatriotul lor :)

Mai bine nu citeam articolul asta...
Pustiul David nu ar fi afectat dacă ar citi, căci e matur suficient sa înțeleagă ca mulți scriu ineptii.

[Utilizator]

O mizerie de articol, eu incerc sa renunt la gsp pentru ca nu mai e de mult ziar de sport si mare parte din echipa ori e proasta iremediabil, ori e rea, ori amandoua.

De fapt gsp este absolut ridicola prin faptul ca acum sunt drapati in Popovici dar in rest nu vezi prea mult despre alte sporturi in afara de fotbal. Si chiar si articolasele despre fotbal sunt in mare parte despre amarata de Liga 1, axate pe scandal ieftin si chestii colaterale sportului. Chiar si acum, printre primele lucruri dezvaluite despre Popovici a fost cat castiga de la club.
Desigur ca nu mai avem sportivi si echipe de top din multe motive ce tin de modul in care se misca tara, dar o parte din vina o poarta si media care rareori prezinta sporturile in mod egal.

[miril]

Glinta locul patru la 50 m spate la egalitate cu gresul. Rees descalifiat de pe pozitia de castigator. Concetateanu Armstrong, castigator.

[miril]

Rees repus campion mondial dupa contestatie. Glinta pe cinci.

[Alina Nicoleta]

Penibil ministrul nostru... nici măcar felicitări nu a rostit pentru Robert. Dar ma bucur ca David a fost băiat inteligent și a dres-o el fain. Ambii sunt niște băieți de vis!!!!!

“Visul meu e sa devin cel mai rapid din istorie”
Asta e ce a spus David.
Campion adevarat, mondial. Sublim, si in plus e roman. Avem asa de rar ... :rolleyes:

🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴👍 Fabulos, formidabil, uluitor, eceptional.

[El Pistolero]

Oare ce zice idiotul ala de Geambașu acum, care făcea misto de Popovici după Tokyo?!

Senzațional copilul! A progresat de la competiție la competiție. Probabil va mai îmbunătăți timpul asta.

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Geambasu si Emil1986, cei 2 hodorogi din muppets care sufera groaznic dupa teribila veste ca torpila dinamovistă este cel mai rapid inotator al lumii 🤣

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Performanta incredibila a lui David Popovici. Si nu ma refer la recordul mondial, care nu e asa important. Dar acest baiat exceptional a reusit sa by-pass-eze cele 40 de stiri consecutive din gsp despre jiji, mimi, dica, coman, miculescu, zis micul lewa, mustata si peluza neo nazi care a afus crucea pe stadion, dar aia celtică :D simbolul ortodoxiei etc. Mi se pare ceva fabulos. Doar din lucrul asta si iti dai seama ca esti contemporanul unei performante cu adevarat istorice.

No comments.

[delaparis]

Avem un campion exceptional. Un fleac :D

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Deja am si uitat. Peste tot se discuta daca a murit Salam. Vestea tragica, ulterior devenita comica, a pornit de la pro tv, postul de casa al fecsesebistilor.

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Deja victorie de salon, la 200, pt torpila nefecesebistă. Merită subliniata, desi cu juma' de gura si undeva in josul paginii, orice victorie nefecesebistă. Nu uitati ca toti canotorii medaliati cu aur la Miunşăn sunt de la CS Dinamo Bucuresti, o veste care le-a luat piuitul unor jeguri ca Geambaşu si Emil 1986.

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Probabil ca cei care-l indruma pe Popovici i-au transmis ca nu-i bine sa-si stirbeaza din invicibilitate si ca n-ar fi bine daca ar termina pe 2, 3, nu mai spun in afara podiumului, pentru ca, se pare, ca nu el e favorit in aceasta proba si e posibil sa nu obtina primul loc. Eu asta cred.

O noua monstră de suferinta la capuțu'. Al d-voastra, emil1986, zis duba, utcopos, sos si inca alte 80 de nick-uri pe gsp, unde se aproba, râde si se linge pe ouă, de unul singur, de pe zeci de conturi. Acum are o problema cu Popovici, ca nu presteaza si la 400 🤣

[miril]

Si-a permis sa testeze cam pe unde se situeaza in proba asta si a dedus ca nu merita sa-si risipeasca energiile caci mai are de lucrat. Un lucru inteligent nu o nereusita. La Tokyo multi "specialisti" si chibiti au spus ca ar fi un meteorit. Iata ca nu-i asa ci David este o stea (a nu se confunda cu un anumit...stiu dar nu vreau sa spun) care straluceste (cuvantul vine de la lux si nu se confunda cu Luce :rolleyes:). Pe mine m-a convins, n-am nevoie de alte dovezi. Din pacate asa suntem noi romanii, nu putem sa ne bucuram de reusita conationalilor,

400m nu e distanta lui. Azi e cel mai rapid pe distante mici. Probabil cand va mai inainta in varsta se va orienta pe 400. Oricum pustiul e fenomenal si va avea un palmares impresionant, asta e sigur.
Pe mine ma uimeste maturitatea de care da dovada cand se exprima. (in plus fata de performate pur sportive)

[miril]

Matur, cu picioarele pe pamant.

[delaoltenia]

copilul asta este un erou si trebuie tratat ca atare. pustiule, stima si respect!

[El Pistolero]

Nu am înțeles de ce s-a băgat în calificări dacă nu avea de gând sa intre și în finală. Am văzut calificările, a scos al 4-lea timp, se putea bate la medalii. Probabil știa ca nu mai poate fizic și nu avea șanse la medalii, nu a vrut sa dezamăgească.

[delaparis]

Avea sanse. Avea cronometru performant.
De asta ziceam ca e matur deci stie ce vrea. Vrea aur, nr 1, primul sau nimic. E nascut sa fie campion, nu secund anonim. Cursa de 400m va astepta pe Popovici cu un record peste cativa ani.

[Alina Nicoleta]

Peste 2 zile pleaca la Lima, la mondialele de juniori, unde vrea sa se testeze contra juniorilor non europeni :)

Ieri a fost declarat cel mai bun inotator masculin de la europene!

[delaparis]

Popovici pe locul 4 la 200m

[El Pistolero]

S-a sufocat pe ultima tură. Mare favorit, cotă 1.1 și termini pe 4. Absolut dezamăgitor rezultat!

[Johnny D]

Incepe sa mai semene si el a roman.:P

[Capitanu.Burcea]

A gresit baiatul. A luat si bacul, aiurea, in loc sa se pregateaaca pt cursa. Sa ia aminte de la campioni ca tavi popescu, de le reje, ca bacu' face rau la performanta 👍

Cica tactic ar fi gresit, zic specialistii. Nu poti sa te bagi peste somitatile care comenteaza pe feisbuc. Le consemnezi, le asimilezi fara drept de apel.

[delaparis]

El zice ca nu a mai putut.
Sper sa nu se fi intamplat ceva sa se accidenteze fortand pe final ... Copilul asta mai are de tras maine la 100m apoi vine Olimpiada la anu'. Ar fi nasol sa auzim vesti proaste tocmai acum.

[delaparis]

In finala la 100m pe locul 5, nu se anunta bine. Timpul e mult sub recordul sau, se pare ca nu e in forma sa ia o medalie. Ii trebuie o secunda. O secunda la proba asta inseamna 1 metru. Cand stii ca se joaca la 30 cm, e clar ca trebuie o minune sa intre pe podium maine.

[delaparis]

Locul 6 in finala 100m

[Numero Dieci]

E si el om.

Specialistii de ocazie nu gresesc niciodata.

[Capitanu.Burcea]

Oricum, la drept vorbind, ceva nu e in regula :D Toti parametrii de anul asta au fost slabi. Oare acest copil si-a atins deja potentialul sau se poate explica si stiintific aceasta cadere? Poate a ars prea repede si acum corpul se echilibreaza putin. E plin peste tot de argumente emotionale, le scoatem din ecuatie. Nu prea am vazut pe nimeni, ma refer la specialisti, sa explice aceasta curba, care aminteste de clopotul lui Gauss despre care citeam pe vremuri in revista Pronosport :)) Se baga toti fraierii in discutie, monetizeaza orice situatie, ca asta e lumea in care traim, dar nu am vazut o analiza de antrenor, de fost campion olimpic, mondial. In schimb, vad ca nenorocitul de Ciutacu, idolul lui Timache, il face zob pe Popovici. Fmm de nenorocit!

[El Pistolero]

Deja toți îl vedeau campion olimpic la Paris. Poate mai revine lumea cu picioarele pe pământ. E clar că nu a fost în cea mai buna forma, s-a văzut pe timpi. A zis și el ca a avut un an greu, cu bacul, competiții. Până la urmă poate e mai bine ca nu a luat medalii acum. Nu va fi presiunea aia pe el la Paris, lumea trebuie sa înțeleagă ca la nivelul asta, când toți sunt buni, cel mai mult contează forma de moment. Nu știe nimeni în ce forma va fi la Paris.

Ar trebui sa ia medalie la JO Paris.
