General
GOLD ALREADY DECIDED

"The Frenchman is a step above the rest. He is invincible right now. The other two medals will be played out by the Chinese (Jiachao Wang), the two Americans (Jamie Brown and Eric McElvenny), the Japanese (Hideki Uda), the British (Michael Taylor) and me. Hopefully I can take one." (tokio2020.dxtadaptado.com, 09 Aug 2021)
