He's Romanian, just Romanian. Not Serbian.

And now David Popivici won the gold in 200m in Paris.

David Popovici has no SERBIAN ancestry information.spreading ....
You mispronounce his family name....

[svejk]

Popovici is a Romanian name not Serbian. Over 23 000 Romanians with this name and one person in Serbia

[Sofia-]

Despite name Popovici is plain ethnic Romanian, has no Serbian ancestry. That is due to the fact that all the Orthodox Christians in north west Balkans, including many and mostly Romanians, former Romans of Balkans, as part of Ottoman empire or Hungarian kingdom were registered for centuries to the Serbian church and their names also got Serbianized. Those who remained outside Romanian principalities were fully assimilated in time while those who remained inside Romanian principalities just kept their Serbianized names. Obviously there were also Serbs settled inside Romanian principalities but they kept their names and ethnicities, as Romanians have no such habits to forcefully assimilate anyone or change their names. Thats why there are more Hungarians today in Romania than 100 years ago and ll have Hungarian names. Even those Romanians who were forced to translate names to Hungarian, during Hungarian occupation of Transylvania still have same names, even though their ancestry was Romanian for centuries.

[arseniuarsn]

popovici is the future...soon the goat

[niktang-thxt]

And now the 2024 world record holder Pan Zhanle, whom legendary Phelps never heard of, just destroyed Popivici and his own mark with a new UNBELIEVABLE 46.40.

[blankakovacs]

This video is so stupid. Phelps didn’t say a word about either of them. Everyone in the comment section arguing about who is better is absolutely ridiculous. These swimmers compete in different events and they are all great.

[mikkelsimsek]

Just for future reference, David's last name is pronounced ''Popovich''. In Romania if there is only 1 'i' it is not pronounced, only if there are 2.
Still a great vid, keep it up.

[ChristianD]

how so Serbian?...with all due respekt for our Serbian brothers but Popovici its 100% Romanian

[chankanpholtanawasit]

I didn't hear a single word from Phelps

[Younes_J.]

David idolized Michael and now he is talking about him.

[StarHCR-YT]

[petermarkovits-kegp]

For american illiterates;
