Monday's final session in Budapest began with a super race by the big star David Popovici in the 200 meter freestyle.

The Romanian swam in the fifth fastest time ever and the second fastest time without a "super suit".

1.43.21 is also a new junior world record.

- I can not wait to see the medal and bite on it, he says to SVT.

The World Cup gold is Romania's first in history and no faster time has been set in over ten years.

- Records are there to be broken and barriers are just imaginary.

Records are just unbeatable on paper, in reality it is different.

The gold medal was his first senior medal in long distance.

Previously, he had only won European Championship gold in the short course.

Second came Sunwoo Hwang, South Korea, and third Tom Dean from the UK.
