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 Javelin

Reigning Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem is one of the names to look out for in the men's javelin today. The Pakistani athlete picked up gold in Paris last year with a stunning 92.97m throw - an Olympic record - and was the runner up in the World Championships two years ago. The man who won that day, Neeraj Chopra, finished second in Paris last year and will be determined to retain his title.

However, it's German superstar Julian Weber who goes in as favourite after a very impressive Diamond League season saw him win the Finals in Zurich last month with an incredible 91.51m throw to win by almost six metres.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's 400m

The 400m heats and semi-finals were disappointing from a British perspective but not from a Botswanan one, with the African nation, who have no fewer than three representatives in today's final. Favourite Collen Kebinatshipi set a national record for Botswana in the semi-finals with a world-leading time of 43.61, and betting sites are expecting a three-way shootout between him, American Jacory Patterson and South African Zakithi Nene.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Women's 400m

It would be a shock of almighty proportions if American sensation Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone doesn't romp home in the 400m. The 26-year-old has won gold at the last two Olympics and at the 2022 World Championships (she missed 2023 with injury), and her semi-final time of 48.29 is the quickest this year along with the 11th-quickest of all time.

It's worth keeping an eye on Salwa Eid Naser in lane seven, too, with the Bahrain athlete boasting the third-quickest time in history thanks to an incredible run in the final of the 2019 World Championships.
