In Wednesday’s Olympic 2024 betting diary we focus on Athletics, but there are a number of other finals taking place across various sports and the Women’s Golf also gets underway.
For betting on all Olympic events keep an eye on the Olympics Landing Page
ATHLETICS
Mykolas Alekna is the 4/9 favourite to win the Men’s Discus on Wednesday night. We also have the final of the Men’s 3000 metres Steeplechase where bookmakers are expecting Soufiane El Bakkali (8/10) to battle it out with Lamecha Girma (1/1).
The Men’s 400 metres is the highlight of the night for me and Kirani James comes into the final with the fastest qualification time. He is 18/1 to win though and the impressive Matthew Hudson-Smith, who cruised home in his heat, is the 5/8 favourite with Quincy Hall, also impressive in qualification, priced at 15/10 for the win.
We also have the Women’s Pole Vault final and if it is anything as exciting as the men’s we are going to be in for a great night. Nina Kennedy is the 5/10 favourite ahead of Angelica Moser at 33/10 with Katie Moon, the only other pole jumper under 10/1 and she is priced at 9/2.

WATER POLO
The men’s Water Polo quarter-finals takes place on Wednesday and Italy at 19/10 and Spain at 39/20 are favourites to win Gold and Silver. All four quarter-finals are fairly one-sided as far as the betting goes although I do think Australia have a chance to upset the USA and are priced at 3/1.

WOMEN’S GOLF
We can only hope that the women’s Golf is as exciting as the men’s and Nelly Korda at 4/1 is the favourite in a similar price to what Scottie Scheffler was in the men’s event. One golfer I think will be course suited and has plenty of experience in big Tournaments is Minjee Lee, currently priced at 18/1. South African, Ashleigh Buhai, a Major Champion is priced at 80/1.
