France won the men’s Olympic rugby sevens gold at Paris 2024, ahead of Fiji with silver and South Africa with bronze. The next tournament is at the Los Angeles Games in July 2028, with 12 men’s teams at Carson Stadium, and no gold medal market for it is posted in a source we can name.
Fiji came to Paris as the defending champion. It had won gold at Tokyo 2020, where New Zealand took silver and Argentina bronze.

The two teams this page’s board had as co-favorites finished far apart: France won, and Argentina, the bronze medalist from Tokyo, placed seventh. New Zealand, the Tokyo runner-up, finished fifth.
What the market said before Paris
The board this page published before the Games had France and Argentina at +300, New Zealand at +350, Fiji at +400, Ireland at +1000 and the United States at +2800. Our pick was Fiji at +400, and it lost: Fiji reached the final and took silver.
At +300, the price on France implied a 25.0% chance. Fiji at +400 implied 20.0%.
