Paul  is legit at least. I’m really hoping for a medal from him Tokyo. In my opinion he’s one of the best raw talents out threes right now.

2020 may be a bit short but he's young, though some equally younger athletes have already performed on global stage

As for Tjon en Fa he is in qualifying position at the moment

Where is this going to end ?

Matthew Glaetzer was diagnosed with thyroid cancer apparently. He should make a full recovery though.

Hopefully he'll recover in time to be in shape in Tokyo, although of course the main issue is to hope he'll be back to normal health in the first place.

Stefan Ritter (only 21) has retired. He is a former world junior champion, but suffered a huge accident last year (brain injury) and decided to end his career in the interest of his long term health.
