ATHLETICS
The morning’s Athletic action sees the Women’s Heptathlon get going and the Women’s Shot Put qualification. There is also Round 1 of the Men’s 4 x 100m Relay, but the real action takes place later in the day when we have the Women’s 1500m semi-finals and no fewer than 5 Gold Medal events.
Malaika Mihambo is the 6/10 favourite to win the Women’s Long Jump with Tara Davis, her likely rival, priced at 2/1.
Sydney Mclaughlin is the firm favourite at 1/4 to win the Women’s 400m Hurdles and the only other runner given a chance by the bookmakers is Femke Bol who is priced at 26/10. I think this race could be closer than the betting suggests.
The Men’s Javelin looks fairly competitive and Neeraj Chopra is the 9/10 favourite, Vadlejch and Peters are 9/2 and 11/2 respectively.
Grant Holloway is a short-priced 1/25 to win the Men’s 110m Hurdles so in that race you may want to focus on Medal Betting where Orlando Bennett is 15/10 for a Top 3 finish.
My personal highlight will be the 200m for Men where 100m Champion, Noah Lyles is trading short at 2/9 with Letsile Tebogo ( 12/1 before the semi-final), now priced at 9/2 after an excellent run.

HOCKEY
The Men’s final takes place on Thursday and the Netherlands are 4/6 favourites to win Gold with Germany 11/10 to cause a minor upset.
THURSDAY’S PLAY OF THE DAY
I have been impressed with Vadlejch in the Javelin and he is tempting at 9/2 for the win although Chopra will be hard to beat. I am going to take him at 15/20 to medal and I am going to use that to bolster odds on Tebogo who really impressed in the 200m semi-finals.
Yes Lyles has more to come but hopefully so does Tebogo.
Double: Vadlejch Medal, Tebogo win at 17/2 – you can use this code to populate your bet slip 13375976
