Not a big list like the others, but I have a few athletes I grew fond of because I watched them live at events in the Netherlands. In Paris I will cheer for:

 

:POL Volleybal Men team and Bartosz Kurek.

 

:GRN Javelin thrower Anderson Peters

 

Other than that I am a big fan of :BEL Nafi Thiam and :FRA Kevin Mayer in the athletics multi events.
