It's worth noting that NIST already announced that the likely winner of the contest was CRYSTALS-Kyber and Crystals-DILITHIUM: https://www.feistyduck.com/bulletproof-tls-newsletter/issue_.... It sounds like it's just waiting for some i's and t's to be dotted and crossed.

Their concern that something that made it through multiple rounds turned out to be so easily broken is very valid, but as of today I wouldn't refer to SIKE as a "contender" anymore.

There is still am ongoing round 4. There will likely be another NIST program for signature schemes with smaller sig size.

Falcon, SPHINCS+ were also standardized btw, not just Dithium.
