David Popovici

Popovici is one of swimming's rising stars and the Romanian is the favourite to win the Men's 200m Freestyle in Paris.

The 19-year-old, who won numerous gold medals at junior level, is a double world champion, picking up two golds at the 2022 World Championships in Budapest when winning the Men's 100m Freestyle and the Men's 200m Freestyle.

In doing so, he became the first swimmer in 49 years to win gold in both sprint events at the same edition of the world championships.

In the European Championships two years ago, Popovici broke Cesar Cielo's 13-year-old world record in the 100m Freestyle by 0.05 seconds when clocking a time of 46.86 seconds to win gold.

Duncan Scott

Glasgow-born Scott will hope to win another medal for GB in the Men's 200m Freestyle final and his second Olympic gold.

The 27-year-old was part of the victorious British 4x200m Freestyle relay team which won gold in Tokyo three years ago, while he is also a four-time gold medallist at World Championship level.

Scott was part of the 4x200m Freestyle relay team that won in Kazan in 2015, Budapest in 2017 and Fukuoka in 2023, while he was on the 4x100m medley team that triumphed in Gwangju in 2019.

Luke Hobson

Hobson holds the US Open and American records in the 200m Freestyle and will hope to challenge for a medal in Paris.

The 21-year-old has four bronze medals at World Championship level - all secured in Doha in February in the Mixed 4x100m Freestyle Relay, the Men's 4x200 Freestyle Relay, the Men's 4x100 Freestyle Relay and the Men's 200m Freestyle.

The Nevada-born swimmer also won a silver medal in the Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay in the World Championships in Fukuoka in 2023, while his only World gold came in the Men's 4x100m Medley Relay in Doha earlier this year.

Lukas Martens

German star Martens has already won one gold medal in Paris, taking the 400m Freestyle title, and now he's aiming to follow it up with a medal in the 200m Freestyle.

Martens also won gold in Rome in 2022 in the World Championships 400m Freestyle, while he has one silver and two other bronzes to his name in previous World Championships, all coming in the 400m Freestyle.

Matthew Richards

Richards is the second Briton in the field for the 200m Freestyle final and the 21-year-old goes in search of his second Olympic medal having also being part of the men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay team that won gold in the last Games in Tokyo.

Richards is a two-time World Championship gold medallist and two-time European gold medallist and was handed an MBE in the 2022 New Year Honours for his services to swimming.
