Javokhir Sindarov won the FIDE Candidates Tournament with one round to spare and will challenge current World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju later this year. The combined age of both players will be below 41 and this will be youngest World Chess Championship ever.
I have been tracking the tournament for past couple of weeks and for me the most interesting game was when Nakamura took 67 mins to make one move against Sindarov in round 5. Here is a nice video explanation of that game by Chessbase India on their YouTube channel.
