Norway are the Olympic women’s handball champions: they won gold at Paris 2024, France took silver and Denmark bronze, olympics.com’s results show. The next Olympic tournament 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 handball market from one Games to the next. It keeps the last tournament’s result as the record, says how this page’s own bet settled, and adds the next tournament’s prices once a market is posted.
How Paris 2024 ended
| Medal | Team |
|---|---|
| Gold | Norway |
| Silver | France |
| Bronze | Denmark |
France went into the Games as the betting favorite at -135 on this page’s board, playing at home, and reached the final. Norway beat them for gold. Denmark won the bronze medal match against Sweden.
How this page’s bet settled
Before the tournament, this page’s bet was Norway at +160 to win gold. Norway won it, so the bet paid $160 on a $100 stake.
At the prices this page carried, France at -135 implied a 57.4% chance of gold and Norway at +160 a 38.5% chance. That gap is what the bet was about: the page rated Norway higher than the price did, and on this occasion the result agreed.
Betting the next Olympic tournament
Between now and LA 2028, the women’s European and World Championships are where form shows, and the Olympic qualifying events decide who is in the field at all. Paris showed how close the top of the sport is: the home favorite reached the final and still lost it.
A futures price on a gold medal is a bet on a short knockout event, where one bad night in a quarterfinal ends it. A bet is worth making only when you rate the team’s chance higher than the price does.
