Seven of this page’s 12 Paris 2024 bets on the women’s athletics events won and five lost: Camryn Rogers, Nina Kennedy, Valarie Allman, Yaroslava Mahuchikh, Masai Russell, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Gabrielle Thomas all took the gold they were backed for. The next Olympic athletics program is at LA 2028, whose Games run from 14 to 30 July 2028, and no price on it has been sourced here, so none is quoted.
This page follows the Olympic women’s athletics markets from one Games to the next. It keeps the last Games’ medalists as the record, shows how each of this page’s bets settled, and adds the next Games’ prices once markets are posted.

What the prices said, and what happened
The favorites held in the events where the price was shortest. McLaughlin-Levrone at -2500 was priced at a 96.2% chance and won by 1.50 seconds, and Allman at -600 (85.7%) and Mahuchikh at -500 (83.3%) won too.
The two short favorites that lost were Richardson at -225, a 69.2% chance, beaten by Alfred in the 100m, and Mihambo at -150, 60.0%, who took silver behind Tara Davis in the long jump. Julien Alfred’s win was Saint Lucia’s first Olympic medal of any color, her olympics.com profile says.
Betting the next Games
Olympic athletics markets are event-by-event futures. Between now and LA 2028, the World Athletics Championships and the national trials are where form shows, and in the United States the trials decide who is on the team at all.
A short price is not a safe bet. Two of the five losses above were favorites at -150 or shorter. A bet is worth making only when you rate the athlete’s chance higher than the price does.
