Popovici won a very fast second heat in 47.13, 0.17 seconds quicker than his world junior mark from July.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-david-popovici-and-caeleb-dressel-headline-qualifying-in-100-freestyle-world-record-in-jeopardy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> He is circling the record set<\/a> in 2009 by Cielo at 46.91.<\/p>\n<p>Second heading to the final is <strong>Maxime Grousset<\/strong> of France, who won the first semifinal heat in 47.53. <strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> of Canada was third in 47.55 with <strong>Lewis Burras<\/strong> setting a British record in fourth in 47.63.<\/p>\n<p>The final spot in the final was decided via swim-off, with Hungary\u2019s <strong>Nandor Nemeth<\/strong> using the home-pool advantage. He blasted a Hungarian record 47.69 to edge Italy&#8217;s <strong>Lorenzo Zazzeri<\/strong> by .35 seconds, chipping 0.12 seconds off his national mark from the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The drama in the 100 free semifinals came after the morning session, when <strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-caeleb-dressel-pulls-out-of-100-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">withdrew from the event for what USA Swimming termed medical reasons<\/a>. The Tokyo Olympic champion and two-time reigning World Champion had set the second-fastest time in prelims at 47.95. Dressel will also miss out on the mixed medley relay. His status for later events at the meet is unknown.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2022\/19th-fina-world-championships-sw-live-results\">Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-how-to-watch-swimming-action-plus-key-links\/\">How to Watch &amp; Key Links<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dressel\u2019s withdrawal allowed <strong>Sunwoo Hwang<\/strong> to get into the semifinals as an alternate. He had tied for 17th in the morning with Australian <strong>Zac Incerti<\/strong>, who apparently also scratched. (Hwang was fourth in the first semifinal to finish 10th overall.)<\/p>\n<p>The 100 free is a field that, as Paris nears, is squarely in flux. Dressel\u2019s top challengers in the 50 free are increasingly veterans heavily specialized in the shorter distances \u2013 <strong>Florent Manaudou, Bruno Fratus, Ben Proud.<\/strong> That leaves the pressure to dethrone the all-purpose sprint champ coming from the higher distances.<\/p>\n<p>If the 200 free was any indication, the changing of the guard is well underway. Popovici made history as the first Romanian man to win a world title, all before his 18th birthday. Hwang, the silver medalist in that event, also packs an impressive 100 free. He and Popovici were fifth and seventh, respectively, in Tokyo last year in the 100.<\/p>\n<p>Add in the teenage Liendo of Canada and relatively young American <strong>Brooks Curry,<\/strong> and the talent is bubbling up at this first Worlds of the Paris Olympic cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The event in Budapest was missing out on a pair of Tokyo Olympic medalists in <strong>Kyle Chalmers,<\/strong> who opted out of the event at Worlds, and <strong>Kliment Kolesnikov,<\/strong> with Russia banned from the meet. The fastest qualifier in prelims in Tokyo, Italy\u2019s <strong>Thomas Ceccon,<\/strong> didn\u2019t swim the 100 free in Budapest, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-thomas-ceccon-crushes-world-record-to-claim-100-back-world-title\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he pretty well made up for in other areas, to be fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Grousset took control of the first semifinal, leading the way in 47.54. Second was Nemeth, to the delight of the home crowd, with <strong>Andrej Barna<\/strong> third. Barnaj didn\u2019t make the final, though, thanks to the speed brandished by the second heat. Chinese youngster <strong>Zhanle Pan<\/strong> is fifth in the final, followed by Italy\u2019s <strong>Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> and Curry.<\/p>\n<p>Barras took down the British record of 47.87 that had belonged to <strong>Tom Dean<\/strong>. Barras buzzed within .01 of the mark at British trials.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"507197\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-david-popovici-lowers-wjr-to-47-13-in-caeleb-dressel-less-100-free\/m100freesemi\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"919,755\" 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;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"M100freesemi\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;M100freesemi&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-507197\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi.jpg\" alt=\"M100freesemi\" width=\"650\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi.jpg 919w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi-243x200.jpg 243w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi-450x370.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/M100freesemi-533x438.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Championships: David Popovici Lowers WJR to 47.13 in Caeleb Dressel-Less 100 Free The collision of the world\u2019s top 50 freestyler and the world\u2019s best 200 freestyler \u2026 will have<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":507192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122074],"tags":[130625,54168,38891,69986,35724,128885,69672,61183,77661,63313,129055,129236,130990],"class_list":["post-507191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-europe","tag-2022-fina-world-championships-budapest","tag-alessandro-miressi","tag-andrej-barna","tag-brooks-curry","tag-caeleb-dressel","tag-david-popovici","tag-joshua-liendo","tag-lewis-burras","tag-maxime-grousset","tag-nandor-nemeth","tag-sunwoo-hwang","tag-szebastian-szabo","tag-zahnle-pan"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>World Championships: David Popovici Hits WJR in Dressel-Less 100 Free<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The collision of the world\u2019s top 50 freestyler and the world\u2019s best 200 freestyler \u2026 will have to wait.
