2024 Olympic Athletics Expert Gold Picks
| MyBookie Analysis of the Athletics Race to Gold

Writer’s Picks for the Athletics Events in Paris

Olympic Men’s 100: Kishane Thompson +100

Quincy Hall’s personal best in the 400 meters is 43.8.

He completed his personal best in Monaco this year, which tells us that Hall is surging heading into the 2024 Olympic Games.

For sure, Hall must take down some serious competition.

Also, the best he could do at the World Championships in Budapest was win the bronze.

Still, at +300 odds, Hall is worth a play considering he is improving.

Olympic Long Jump Women: Tara Davis-Woodhall +175

The favorite, Germany’s Malaika Mihambo, is at -135.

Davis-Woodhall is the second choice at +175.

She won gold at the 2024 Glasgow Indoor Championships, which tells us Davis-Woodhall should peak in France.

The odds also tell us that most lines makers and Olympic bettors believe the Women’s Long Jump is a two person race between Davis-Woodhall and Mihambo.

Back the long jumper offering the better payout.

Olympic 100 Hurdles Women: Masai Russell +300

Franes Cyrena Samba-Mayela is the favorite at +250.

Jasmine Camacho-Quinn is second choice at +275.

Third choice Masia Russell offers +300.

The difference in odds from the favorite to the second choice to the third choice implies that Russell, and American, has a massive shot.

Give Russell a chance to turn in a lifetime best time as she takes on Samba-Mayela and Camacho-Quinn.

Olympic Women’s 400: Nickisha Pryce +130

Marileidy Paulino is the -135 favorite.

Her odds aren’t much different than what Jamaica’s Nickisha Pryce offers.

Like Russell, Pryce is going to have step up her game to beat Paulino, the world’s top ranked women’s 400 meters runner.

But Pryce can get it done in what should be, like many of this year’s track and field events, a two person race.

Olympic Women’s 200 Pick: Shericka Jackson +180

Julian Alfred is third choice at +500 and the USA’s Gabriel Thomas is the +100 favorite.

What the odds on Thomas and Jackson tell us is that there is a chasm between the two top choices.

Can Jackson get it done versus the impressive Thomas? The 30 year old Jamaican produced a lifetime best in Budapest last year.

Any improvement gets her close to Thomas.

Consider backing Shericka to win gold.
