During the first two days of the Romanian Championships in Otopeni, the now-18-year-old has clinched three victories. Tuesday brought wins in the 50 free (22.62) and 100 backstroke (54.74), and on Wednesday, he reset Romania&#8217;s national record in the 50 butterfly with a time of 23.74, knocking almost three tenths off his country&#8217;s previous national recod.<\/p>\n<p>It is unlikely that Popovici would attempt to race any of these off-events internationally, especially given his prowess in the 100 and 200 free, but he has shown the versatility to become Romania&#8217;s top swimmer in essentially any event he chooses to race. It&#8217;s unclear if and when Popovici will remain his best events against top competition during the season, but he will surely arrive at <a
