Romanian David Popovici won his second world title on Wednesday by winning the 100m freestyle, just ahead of Frenchman Maxime Grousset.


With a time of 47 sec 58/100, David Popovici is just ahead of Grousset, 23 (47.64), in the absence of world swimming superstar, American Caeleb Dressel, who has withdrawn for the rest of the competition after withdrawing before the semi-finals of the queen distance.

Popovici, only 17, had already been crowned in the 200m freestyle on Monday.

After obtaining the silver medal at the Worlds on Wednesday in Budapest, Grousset savored at the microphone of France 4: “

I am really happy to be vice-world champion, to have represented France so well.

During the race, I felt that we were really all on the same line, I felt that I was going to finish in three, maybe even beat Popovici, but it didn't come to anything, I cracked a little on the end.

There are little things that I failed to put in place.

There is a moment when I slow down a little bit, I temper but I shouldn't have, I should have regained the lead, led from start to finish and won this race.

But that's the experience, I'm vice-world champion today and I'm very happy.

I can't be disappointed,

I'm really too happy.
