World Athletics Championships Betting Odds

While casual viewers might be focused on the more mainstream sprinting events for the World Athletics Championships, top in-play betting sites will have odds on every event throughout the nine days in Japan. We will showcase the best odds on the biggest events each day right here.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's 400m Hurdles

The men's 400m hurdles looks set to be a two-man shootout between two of the most successful athletes of recent time in Karsten Warholm and Rai Benjamin. World record holder Warholm has an Olympic gold and silver medal in his collection alongside three World Championship golds, whilst Benjamin is the reigning Olympic champion to go with two Worlds silvers.

Outside of the two favourites, Nigerian Ezekiel Nathaniel had the fastest qualifying time and gets a favourable lane draw alongside the experienced Abderrahman Samba, who has reached the last two Olympic finals.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's 200m

All eyes will be on Noah Lyles this afternoon as he looks to match Usain Bolt by winning a fourth 200m World Championship gold. The showy American ran an incredible 19.51 in qualifying, a world leading time this year, and may even fancy going for Bolt's world record of 19.19. He won't have it easy, though, with compatriot Kenny Bednarek and 21-year-old Jamaican sensation Bryan Levell also likely to be in the mix alongside Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo.

Team GB's hopes rest on Zharnel Hughes, who finished fourth at the Worlds in Budapest two years ago but has his work cut out to finish in the medals today.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Women's 200m

The women's 200m gold appears to be going only one way - around the neck of Melissa Jefferson-Wooden. Aged just 24, Jefferson-Wooden already won the 100m five days ago with a Championship Record time and looks set to add the 200m medal at the first time of asking.

However, Jamaican Shericka Jackson has won the event in the last two Worlds and is unlikely to give up her title without a fight. Dina Asher-Smith and Amy Hunt are representing Team GB, with the latter looking strong after running a personal best 22.08 in the semi-finals.
