Women's 800m Olympic Betting Forecasts and Insights

Just 22, Keely Hodgkinson is at the forefront of the Women's 800m event for Paris 2024 Olympics. After her stunning 1:54.61 win at the London Diamond League, setting a new British benchmark and the swiftest global time since 2018, Hodgkinson is the undeniable favorite for the gold.

Women's Olympic 800m Winner Prediction

Keely Hodgkinson

Keely's path has been stellar, having clinched a silver in Tokyo Olympics 2020 right behind Athing Mu. With Mu not making the cut for Paris, Hodgkinson’s chances to convert her silver into gold are greatly amplified. She also thrives in the European Athletics Championships, maintaining her title defense in Rome, all set for another Olympic display.

Mary Moraa from Kenya emerges as Hodgkinson’s fiercest rival this year. At 24, Mary has proven her prowess by defeating Hodgkinson to clinch gold at the Budapest World Championships last year, clocking in at 1:56.03. Her Kenyan record in the 400m further emphasizes her credibility in the 800m race.

Mary Moraa

Moraa’s evolution post-Tokyo 2020 reflects tremendous strides. Her dynamic victory at the Commonwealth Games, surging from last to first, is a testament to her sporting tenacity. Expect her 400m speed records to be a critical advantage in Paris.

Phoebe Gill, only 17, is making waves in British athletics. Despite her age, she’s shown immense potential, breaking British under-17 records for both 800m and 1500m. Her national championship victory and groundbreaking 1:59.65 European Under-18 record hint at her being a formidable contender for Paris.

Britain's Contenders

Jemma Reekie, another notable Brit, brings her skill into the mix. With her personal best of 1:55.61 at the London Diamond League, taking a close second to Hodgkinson, Reekie's Olympic fourth-place in Tokyo and silver at the Glasgow World Indoor Championships signal her as a seasoned head in the game. Her drive to surpass past performances fuels anticipation for her Paris journey.

Keep your eyes on Nia Atkins from the USA, with a prevailing odd of 22/1, as she presents a consistent challenge to her British counterparts.

Kenya’s Mary Moraa, at odds of 5/2, poses the main threat, whereas other competitors like Phoebe Gill (12/1), Jemma Reekie (16/1), and Nia Atkins (22/1), lag significantly.
