This Summer sees the highly anticipated Summer Olympics head to Paris and bookmakers are now offering a variety of specials around the event.
Paris 2024 gets underway at the end of July and is the 29th edition of the Summer Olympics with Paris last hosting the event 100 years ago in 1924.

Those odds, given by Star Sports at the start of the year, suggest there's a 25% chance that the World Record will be broken at the Olympics.

What the expert says...
Further odds make it 7/1 that Team GB win 30+ Gold Medals in Paris
Team GB has been successful at the Olympics in recent games but has only ever hit the 30+ tally once way back in 1908.
London 2012 was easily the best Games for Team GB in the last century and even then only saw Great Britain hit 29 Gold Medals.
Betting specials now make it 7/1 that Team GB hits the 30+ Gold Medal tally in Paris in what would be the most successful Olympic's in 116 years.

USA are heavily odds-on to win the most medals at the Paris Olympics
The Olympic Games have been dominated by the USA in recent times with 7 of the last 8 editions of the Summer Games seeing the USA top of the overall medal tally.
Bookies make them the heavy favourites to once again dominate the tally and win the most medals again at this year's games.
Their odds are currently as short as 1/10 to do so with an implied probability of 90.9% given ahead of China in the market.
| 2024 Olympics Most Gold Medals | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| USA | 1/10 | 90.9% |
| China | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Japan | 50/1 | 2.0% |
| Great Britain | 50/1 | 2.0% |
