Adam Peaty and any of our athletes in Men's 200m free are most likely to get Gold in Swimming for Team GB.

I wish the German swimmers are as good as to have a chance to win a gold medal. Maybe the Wellbrock can win the 10 kilometers again. Long time ago that the Germans had such good swimmers for medals.

Yes, but not a gold. Hopefully a bronze, possibly a silver but there's strong Japanese presence there and I think they'd be within a shot of silver too.
