Yannick Agnel<\/strong> (1:43.14).<\/p>\nPopovici had qualified second for the final, cruising through his semi on Tuesday with the 4×100 free final to come, to book lane five alongside Galossi.<\/p>\n
Out in 24.25 – with Whittle the only other man inside 25 in 24.56 – the teenager had established a 0.66 lead by halfway which he extended to 1.3secs at the final turn.<\/p>\n
He came home in 27.13 for victory with Galossi’s second 100 of 54.50 (27.47\/27.03) propelling him past Whittle to stop the clock at 1:47.71 to the Briton’s 1:47.85.<\/p>\n
Popovici splits:<\/strong>\u00a024.25\/50.74 (26.49)\/1:18.32 (27.58)\/1:45.45 (27.13)<\/p>\nGalossi splits<\/strong>: 25.43\/53.21 (27.78)\/1:20.24 (27.03)\/1:47.71 (27.47)<\/p>\nWhittle splits<\/strong>: 24.56\/51.40 (26.84)\/1:19.62 (28.22)\/1:47.85 (28.23)<\/p>\nRomanian tennis player Ion Tiriac, who won the doubles at the 1970 French Open, was among the 2,000 watching on at the Otopeni complex.<\/p>\n
Popovici spoke ahead of the meet about his desire to experience the roar of hometown support as did the Hungarians in Budapest last month.<\/p>\n
After his 200 free gold, he said:<\/p>\n
\u201cToday it wasn\u2019t about time, I just wanted to enjoy this swim, I took the breath towards the crowd side to see the people waving their flags and jumping in joy and it was great.<\/p>\n
“Even if I had multiple swims daily, this atmosphere really helps me to recover and feel fresh.<\/p>\n
“Now I kind of recognise what Kristof Milak<\/strong> could feel while racing at home in Budapest at the Worlds.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nCome the final event of the evening and Popovici was in the water again, 24 hours after going 47.54 as the host nation won relay gold.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday he sliced 0.20secs off that time to give the mixed free quartet a lead of 1.03 over Ksawery Masiuk<\/strong> of Poland, fresh from his 50 back victory and clocking 48.37, 0.15 off Konrad Czerniak<\/strong>‘s national record of 48.22 from the super-suited 2009 worlds.<\/p>\nRomania held a 0.38 lead over Poland at the final changeover only for Dora Molnar – a week after turning 16 – to drop an anchor leg of 54.49 to guide Hungary past both teams and into the wall in first place.<\/p>\n

Padar<\/strong> led throughout the women’s 200 free, pulling away with a sub-30 third 50 to defend her title in 1:58.43 ahead of Italy’s Giulia Vetrano<\/strong> (1:59.60) and Tuncel<\/strong> of Turkey (2:00.02).<\/p>\nPadar splits:<\/strong> 28.05\/58.37 (30.32)\/1:28.31 (29.94)\/1:58.43 (30.12)<\/p>\nPadar had mixed feelings, saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cI expected to claim a win here and to be in the lead during the whole race, I just wanted to do a better time. It\u2019s just a good feeling that you are destined to win, and you deliver, now my focus is on our relays.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Tuncel returned for the 1500 in which she set a European junior record of 15:55.23 en-route to the title last year at the Foro Italico<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Turkish swimmer led throughout to win by almost eight seconds in 16:13.68 ahead of France’s Alexa Reyna<\/strong> (16:21.46) with 15-year-old Julia Barth<\/strong> of Germany taking bronze in 16:33.87.<\/p>\nTuncel said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is my last year among the juniors, so it was really nice to win this race. It is hard to swim the 1500m free final and the 200m free final in the same session.<\/p>\n
“After the 200m I was a bit nervous if I could do my favourite event well but when I started it, I was calm and I was able to do what I was expected to do. I\u2019m happy to get two medals in one day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Moluh had clear water between her and fellow 50 back medallists, Lora Komoroczy<\/strong> (28.31) and Roos Vanotterdijk<\/strong> (28.62).<\/p>\nShe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my first big junior meet, and a final is always a complicated thing, I was a bit nervous before it, but now I\u2019m happy with the gold, the first one here for France, which is great.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to do a bit better time and there are a lot of things I have to do better even in this 50m back, so I want to work on this for sure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

World bronze medallist Masiuk\u00a0<\/strong>won the men’s 50 back in 24.65 ahead of Britain’s Jonathon Marshall<\/strong> (25.21) and Aron Szekely<\/strong> of Hungary (25.36).<\/p>\nMasiuk said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe World Championships were my main event, here I just tried to keep up some speed and I\u2019m happy
\nwith the time after all, and also with my swim in the relay yesterday where I did 48sec.<\/p>\n
“You know, at this age it\u2019s really hard mentally to do race after race in such a short period of time \u2013 it\u2019s challenging to be ready some ten days after a World Championships. So I\u2019m happy to get this gold.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Just 0.07 separated the medallists in the men’s 50 breaststroke with Volodomyr Lisovets<\/strong> of Ukraine touching first in 27.62 with the Netherlands’ Koen de Groot<\/strong> (27.65) taking silver and Uros Zivanovic<\/strong> of Serbia third in 27.69.<\/p>\nEneli Jefimova<\/strong> won the women’s event in 30.44, 0.87 ahead of Schastine Tabor<\/strong> (31.31) with Karolina Piechowicz<\/strong> third in 31.44.<\/p>\nSemi-Final Round-Up<\/h3>\n
