Wednesday 06 August 2008 at 12:30
 If you were wondering who to watch out for at the Summer Olympics 2008 then just take a look at the Olympics betting odds to see which British athletes are expected to do well in the coming weeks.
Oduwu Hot Triple Jump Favourite
In the shape of Phillips Odowu we have the favourite for the Olympics Mens Triple Jump. Odowu is 13/8 with Totesport and Blue Square to grab Olympic Gold and he should be easy to spot with his dyed red hair.
Paula Radcliffe In Search Of More Success
Paula Radcliffe is a name everyone knows and she is a strong contender for the Olympics Womens Marathon but she needs to be 100% fit first. Radcliffe can be backed at 8/1 with Paddy Power for Olympic Gold.
Heptathlete Looking For Good Show
Kelly Sotheton is our best hope in the Olympics Heptathlon and she is fourth favourite in that event to bring home gold meaning any sort of medal will be a good achievement. Sotheton can be backed at 13/2 with Sportingbet to gain the gold medal.
Cycling Sprinter Pendleton Could Be Best Hope Of Gold
In cycling we have Victoria Pendleton who was a triple world champion in 2007. She is very much expected to gain a gold medal with very short odds of just 5/6 with Coral. Other bookmakers are even more confident of British success in this event.
Fourteen Year Old Diver Has Big Future Ahead Of Him
Finally, no list would be complete without young diving sensation Tom Daley. Daley is just 14 years old and even coming home with any sort of medal would be a massive achievement. A gold medal would make him a massive contender for the BBC Sports Personality award so it is no surprise he is 8/1 second favourite for the award with Stan James, behind hot favourite, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton who is 6/4 with Paddy Power.
