Because of his precocious talent, an editorial decision was made to place the Romanian teenager in a front-and-center position.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Phelps has been on the cover on numerous occasions. So has Ian Thorpe. And Mark Spitz. Count Janet Evans as a former cover star, along with Katie Ledecky and Tracy Caulkins. Honestly, if you earn a Swimming World cover nod, the honor equates to superstar status\u2014plain and simple. Heck, there\u2019s only 12 of them in a year.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Popovici still has much to prove, but his trajectory suggests big things ahead. More, he has an antagonist to push him toward his goals, which undoubtedly include Olympic gold medals and world-record performances. More on that guy in a moment.<\/p>\n<p>When Phelps ascended to the top of Mount Olympus, his climb was achieved in dominant fashion. There were plenty of routs along the way, the opposition unable to match his ability. But there were also a handful of athletes who fueled Phelps toward his goals. As the one-time face of the sport, Thorpe was the guy he needed to supplant. Another Ian, this one with the surname of Crocker, served as a major obstacle in the 100 butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, rivalries play a defining role in the sport. They routinely provide highlight moments, and their head-to-head nature tends to ignite a fire in one, if not both, of the involved parties. So, as Popovici\u2014youth on his side\u2014embarks on a full-force chase for international medals, he is positioned to benefit from the presence of a rival.<\/p>\n<p>In Sunwoo Hwang, Popovici might have the foe necessary to elevate his performances to the next level. Popovici is the more-hyped of the teens, but the 18-year-old Korean isn\u2019t far behind. At the Olympic Games in Tokyo, where Popovici advanced to the finals of the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle, Hwang accomplished the same feat.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond finishing places, Hwang displayed a not-afraid-of-anything demeanor during his Olympic debut. He attacked his events with vigor, not concerned in the least with going out too fast and fading. Rather, he was a kid who felt he belonged\u2014and confirmed that belief through his swims. He is another youthful phenom, and Hwang and Popovici could pull each other to greater heights. Think Phelps and Ryan Lochte.<\/p>\n<p>With the Tokyo Games fresh in the rearview mirror, the sport is in a terrific place. The pool features a dynamic combination of veteran talent and youthful skill, and there is no shortage of rivalries to spice up the international competitions on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>In men\u2019s action, the past two Olympic champions in the 100 freestyle, American Caeleb Dressel and Australian Kyle Chalmers, are expected to add further chapters to their rivalry. While Dressel has beaten Chalmers for the past two major crowns, both showdowns were tight\u201412-hundredths separating them at the 2019 World Championships and just 6-hundredths the difference at the Olympics this past summer.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side, Aussie Ariarne Titmus has taken the upper hand in her rivalry with American Katie Ledecky in the 400 freestyle. Through grinding work and determination, Titmus erased a gap with Ledecky that once seemed impossibly large. Now, we ask these questions: Will Titmus remain on top, or will Ledecky find a way to regain her perch?<\/p>\n<p>The World Championships will be held in Japan in May, and that is the next time we will see the aforementioned rivalries unfold further. That meet, slated for Fukuoka, is also where Popovici and Hwang could battle again, and they just might factor into how the podium looks.<\/p>\n<p>Rivalries are a common thread of sports, and swimming has some real beauties at the moment\u2014some established and one brewing.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hope they endure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">John Lohn<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Editor-in-Chief <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to download the full October issue of Swimming World Magazine, available now!<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"488452\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/?attachment_id=488452\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2021-David-Popovici-New-Kid-On-The-Block-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World October 2021 &#8211;
