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 - Women's 100m Hurdles

American Masai Russell will be hoping to double up in the 100m women's hurdles after claiming Olympic gold in Paris last year, but Jamaican sprinter Ackera Nugent is set to be hot on her tail with an axe to grind after failing to finish that race. The silver medallist in France, Cyrena Samba-Mayela, is absent from these World Championships and that could open the door for an outsider.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's Pole Vault

It would be one of the greatest upsets in athletics history if heavy favourite Armand Duplantis didn't take gold here. The Swedish star is arguably the best pole vaulter of all time, having originally broken the world record in 2020 and done so again an incredible 12 times. However, sport isn't played on paper and Greek athlete Emmanouil Karalis, who claimed silver at the Olympics last year, will be ready to pounce after recording a personal best 6.08m just last month.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's 3000m Steeplechase

One of the most exciting long-distance races is always the 3000m steeplechase due to the nature of obstacles like the water jump. The heavily-decorated Soufiane El Bakkali is looking to secure a third consecutive world title to go with his two Olympic golds, and will likely take some stopping after easing through his heat.

World record holder Lamecha Girma has silver medals in the last three world championships and failed to finish at the Olympics last year after tripping over a barrier on the last lap, so will be determined to make amends here.
