This year, however, there’s really only one swimmer that is the clear safe bet to win: Katie Ledecky. At 24 years old, Ledecky is still well within her prime and she’s already the world record holder in several events in which she’ll be swimming in Tokyo.
But on the men’s side, and in some of the other women’s events, the field is wide open. Caeleb Dressel looks like a strong contender for the United States in several men’s events, as does Ryan Murphy and Michael Andrew, while Regan Smith, Rhyan White and Simone Manuel look to hold off several talented Australian swimmers on the women’s side.
