however who knows, maybe kenig will push a pro analysis agenda and it will have 3 analysis types: viazovska, maynard, one of the prob guys (miller, corwin, or hdc), and someone in ag or ant or at (bhatt, thorne, yun, orw, etc)
Fields Medals predictions for 2022?

Viazovska Huh Bhatt Corwin
is my predictionCorwin is a tier below other major contenders in his area. HDC and Miller have better chances. Not that I think any of them will win.
Viazovska and Maynard are the most secure. Both have made unique and important contributions that are distinctly theirs. After these two, there will be surprises.

No, he is most definitely is not. Bigger impact than Brendle: Bhatt , Thorne, Yun, Randal Williams, Zhu, maybe even Millie or HDC… I agree that Maynard, Viazovska, and Huh, are lesser impact ppl but still serious contenders because of their respective areas.
Brendle in 2018 is better than all of the candidates this year.

Viazovska's work has very significant impacts. The theory and technique she initially developed for solving sphere packing problems have opened up a whole new venue for advancing Fourier analysis, both in its foundation and in applications.
Her latest work on hyperbolic Fourier series will be a classic for a long time to come.

Final prediction:
Viazovska, one guy from Cambridge (UK), June Huh, Bhatt.By "one guy from Cambridge", this entry meant one of ORW or JT. Such an outcome would cover the required element of surprise.
I think ORW is more likely to win in 2022 than JT. Less overlap with other candidates and JT is still eligible in 2026.
