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 800m

The men's 800m has a hot favourite in Emmanuel Wanyonyi, who's seasons best is over half a second faster than anyone else in the final. However with three runners who have lifetime bests of under the 1.42 barrier the Kenyan won't have it all his own way.

Britain does have some serious interest in the final, with Max Burgin having an outside chance of getting on the podium and collecting a medal. He might need a career best run to manage that though.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Women's 5,000m

Two time Olympic Champion Beatrice Chebet is looking to become a two time World Champion in the biggest women's final of the day, and the 10,000m and 5,000m record holder has a great chance to do so according to the bookmakers. Her main danger comes in the shape of Faith Kipyegon, who will be hoping to use her speed from the shorter distance events to kick clear late on.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Women's Javelin

We can point to two likely candidates for the Women's Javelin gold, Adriana Vilagos and Elina Tzengko. Tzengo is the current European Champion and also took the Diamond League Final crown, so is no stranger to the big occasion. Vilagos is rightfully the favourite after the fast improving 21 year old posted the longest throw in qualification.

However, Austria's Victoria Hudson has the longest personal best and season's best in the field, and should it click for her she may be uncatchable.
