You are wrong. To be certain I rewatched the race. It confirmed that Verbij was 0.01 faster than Krol at 600 metres, and he is renowed for his excellent final lap. Without this incident he would have beaten Lorentzen’s time and probably even Dubreuil’s. It would have been close for first.

I came up with a very long list, so i trimmed it down to only 100 athletes. I focused on U23 athletes in most sports (U20 in artistic gymnastics/swimming) who didn't win an individual medal in Tokyo and in my opinion have a good chance to win at least one in Paris. I also made a top 10 list for french athletes who didn't make the top 100. Here are the lists:

Note: Obviously a lot of the names that didn't make the list very well could have made it and considering the number of sports i covered, it is very likely that i missed some names. In athletics and swimming especially there are tons of athletes who could have made the list as well (for example Franko Grgic, Yang Yunxuan, Merve Tuncel, Adriana Vilagos, Tara Davis or Jorinde van Klinken).
