What plans David Popovici has, after the World Championships: “A beautiful beach vacation”
Being questioned what follows in the near future, David Popovici said he plans “A big, beautiful holiday on the beach, sitting on the back, drinking what I want to drink”.
“I just want to enjoy a little life and drive my fast car on beautiful and picturesque roads“, He added, according to the same source quoted.
I thought about the Olympic games every day since I was 10, without exaggeration. But after I did that, I realized that nothing changes, my life does not change.
So, coming here, I really wanted to show myself that I can do it after a year so hard and successful.

“Very good that I didn't beat the world record now, honestly, that if I did it it would have been too big. That way I still have something to shoot for. I am honestly glad that I have not done it now, “said the Romanian swimmer, immediately after the race, emphasizing the idea that he needs continuous challenges and goals to perform.
