Yes I’d say so along with Dressel, Bukhov, McEvoy, and likely the American athlete that finishes second at the US Olympic Trials. Most likely option is Alexy, but there’s a fair few names that are in contention. 
 
Manaudou might be in the mix but I think he’s too “old” to be contending for gold, as I think it’ll probably take a time in the 21 lows. Medal is very much possible though. But in front of a home crowd he’ll be very motivated to perform at his best so who knows. 

very impressive swim by Ben 
 
he's definitely one of the top (gold) medal candidates in Paris

Edin does it again. A 6th World Championships final in the last 7 editions (8 years though, considering the 2020 edition was cancelled due to COVID), and is also going for a 5th title in that same time period. What an incredible run he’s been on. 
 
This was the final I wanted heading into the event as them and Team Gushue are my favourite teams in (men’s) curling, very very happy with the outcome.

Hmm.  I can see why, but I don’t think it is exactly fair play for the other teams.
