ATHLETICS – WOMEN’S MARATHON
Betting Strategy
BACK: (Women’s Marathon Gold Medal) Peres Jepchirchir (Rated $4.00)
The defending Games champion Peres Jepchirchir is on the path to become the first woman to successfully defend her gold and she looks a great chance. Paris offers up a hilly course so looking to Boston and New York as guides and the Kenyan has won both. Very happy to take on favourite Hissan too. She is attempting the 5,000, 10,000 and marathon so her legs at the death will surely be heavy.
LAY: (Women’s Marathon Gold Medal) Sifan Hissan (Rated $8.00)

CYCLING – WOMEN’S SPRINT
Betting Strategy
BACK: (Women’s Sprint Gold Medal) Emma Finucane (Rated $1.25)
Emma Finucane is a complete speed machine. She was part of the world record breaking team that won the gold earlier in the week and she has the world best Flying 200m time at last year’s world championships. She won bronze in the Kieren. Great bet.
WEIGHTLIFTING – WOMEN’S 81+KG
Betting Strategy
BACK: (Women’s 81+kg To Medal) Duangaskom Chaidee (Rated $2.00)
The women’s heavyweight division is fairly clearcut with Li Wenwen clearly in line for the gold and Hyejong Park likely to win the silver. There is value though in betting Duangaskom Chaidee to medal. She has the third biggest combined lift this year and fourth in the field over the last three years. Silly price on offer.
