Great interview! Grew up inspired by the legend himself Mr. Popov! Big fan of David, not only because he is a fellow Romanian, but because of what he promotes to the younger generations, especially here in Romania! The level of maturity and dedication, the way he communicates, while actually enjoying what he does, are only a few attributes to mention! Keep up the great work Champ!

My first coach was Bulgarian & the biggest Popov fan. He’d always talk about his technique, mindset and pacing. My coach is now 70 and retired but recently has been sending me videos of David and discussing exactly the same things. So many similarities mainly with the fact they both from the outset look untouchable

Amazing Brett. Thanks for bringing this to us swimming fans.

That was my exact experience with trying to follow swimming in general in the mid to late 90s...and Popov was particularly elusive. I taped the 96 Atlanta games on a VHS and I had Popov's picture on my wall (taken from a magazine). I literally remember at the time using Metacrawler or Yahoo (not even Google) and only being able to find like five pictures on the internet of him swimming.

Fantastic logic BlueBottle. Hope you will never be in such situation like million of ukrainians. Just one simple question. What simple people From russia did to stop war? Including A. Popov. They did nothing, they support this war, they take guns and come to ukraine to kill people. Would you compete with such people? Good luck.

And by the way Popov is a great swimmer and his technique is amazing. Really like this swimmer in past. But let be honest all russian people are part of putins regime. As you may know they took part from Georgia in 2008 and what they do now in 2022? Run to Georgia because of war in Ukraine(Of course they even can't say that it's a war, they call it special operation.) Fantastic! occupy territory of other country and then just go ask georgian people for a host. Why don't they ask Putin to stop the war?

As he said, it seems that David came from the 200 i don't know, and maybe we are at the unique kind of swimmer, not sprinter or middle distance swimmer, only a fenomenal freestyler like Ian Thorpe who was able to swim at world level the 100, 200, 400 and 800... I live in Lima, Perú and i will see the junior worlds next week. Congratulations for the channel !!

Brett, Thanks so much for your great interviews. At the age of 85, I am still swimming and desire to improve and find your interviews so informative and interesting. I became a swimmer some 40 years ago and competed in triathlons and rough water swims thanks to coaching from the great Jim Montgomery, the first to record 49 plus in 1976 in the Montreal Olympics. It would be wonderful for you and followers to hear from him and all he has done for the swimming world and his achievements. He is still swimming and is still very fast. I can help you get in touch if you decide to do an interview. He is waiting to hear from you.

Their swimming techniques are completely different!! I can't see any similarities. I could see some similarities with Gustavo Borges. Popovic swims more like a distance swimmer than a sprinter. I don't see him as the best 50m swimmer. BUT, He is still going to be a great 400/800 m swimmer! He is already better than Popov, and he is going to be better than Hackett, Thorpe and the great mid distance swimmers. Also, seeing Cielo's WR line, it became VERY apparent the boost from the suit...

Can accuse all the sportsmen then. Let's assume they all are ok and concentrate on their style. There are control services that check them regulary, so we will know sooner or later. The fact is I used Popovici sprint style and that really cut me a few seconds as for amateur. For long distance I like to swim close to Sun Yang style - which makes me even quite relaxing.
