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 800m

The star attraction of the week from a UK perspective takes to the track on the final day of the World Championships, when Keely Hodgkinson attempts just justify short odds on the women's 800m. The odds are prohibitive for a reason though. The Olympic Champion is a class act and rarely runs a bad race, it will be a surprise if she is beaten.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's 5000m

In contrast to the women's 800m the men's 5000m is a wide open contest, with six or seven runners probably entering with the belief they can pick up the title. Cole Hocker is the favourite here, after cruising through the heats and being in imperious form in both the 1500m and the 5000m at the US Championships. He won't have it his own way though, with a number of his rivals, including Ingebrigtsen and Gressier, having the ability to run times he is yet to match in his career.

World Athletics Championships Odds - Men's Discus

The highlight in the field on the final day will be the Men's Discus, where favourite and current world record holder Mykolas Alekna of Lithuania will be attempting to take gold. It might be worth taking him on at the prices though as he is yet to win gold on one of the really big days. Australia's Matthew Denny is in the form of his life, and could push Alekna close having posted the second best throw in qualification.
