The Olympics in Paris have arrived, with the rugby sevens and football competitions kicking off before the opening ceremony on Friday, 26th August. Medals and gravitas haven't been won just yet and won't be available until after the opening ceremony, and the best betting apps will be getting in on the action too. With sign-up offers and enhanced odds available for pretty much any sport and event throughout the three-week extravaganza that is Paris 2024, there has never been a better time to punt on the Olympics.

Athletics Olympics Free Bets

Traditionally, the athletics are what bring even the casual viewers into the Olympics, and this time around will be no different. With huge global stars such as Noah Lyles, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Armand Duplantis, Faith Kipyegon and Neeraj Chopra, there will be no shortage of people to follow throughout the athletics meet. It begins with the men's and women's 20km race walk on Thursday, 1st August and ends with the women's marathon on the final day of the Games on Sunday, 11th August.

There will be a total of 144 medals available to athletes across the 11 days of events, and the best betting sites in the UK will be providing Olympics betting odds on the biggest and best events, from the shot put, where Ryan Crouser will be a huge odds-on favourite through to everyone's favourites, the sprints. Team GB will also have no shortage of medal hopes in the form of Hodgkinson, Josh Kerr, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Zharnel Hughes.

Swimming Olympics Free Bets

Gone are the days of Michael Phelps of Ian Thorpe in the water, but that doesn't mean that we aren't in for a seriously exciting swimming meet at Paris 2024. Picking up at the start of the Olympic Games on Saturday, 27th and running through until Sunday, 8th August, we will see some almighty battles in the pool. Can Adam Peaty return to his once near-mythical dominance in the pool? Can Duncan Scott go one better than Tokyo 2020 when he landed a silver behind team-mate Tom Dean, who's switched to the 200m individual medley this time around?

Katie Ledecky has won 10 Olympic medals in her glittering career and will be well backed at many of the best betting apps to add to that medal tally. At most betting sites, there nearly 20 events to punt on throughout the swimming meet, so don't miss out on any Olympics free bets to use on it.

Cycling Olympics Free Bets

Team GB's dominant sport is most certainly cycling, having topped the medal table at each of the last four Olympics, winning a combined 50 medals. The team seems to know how to peak at the right time, and many of the riders will be favourites to do so once again at the best Olympics betting sites. While we no longer have the likes of Jason Kenny or his wife Laura Kenny, the two most decorated riders in Team GB Track cycling history, there are still plenty of medal hopes who could provide some great value when making your punts with the best betting apps UK has to offer.
