His USA team-mate Joe Kovacs seems his biggest threat - however, if Crouser turns up and performs, he's likely leaving France with the gold, even with his injury problems this year.
In the women's event, USA's Chase Jackson is making her Olympic debut, and she's the favourite to win gold. However, it's wide open, with defending champion Gong Lijiao of China and Canada's Sarah Mitton also in the mix.
