Olympics 2024 Day 4 tips & medal picks | Tuesday, July 30

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games continues this Tuesday, July 30, with plenty action across the board. Here are our best bets for Day 4.

Triathlon: Men’s Final

Entering this event with three wins in his last three starts, Great Britain’s Alex Yee will be tough to beat. The Tokyo 2020 silver medallist was a standout in the 2023 test event around the same track, and he is the favourite with Olympic bookmakers this time around. At +155, Yee offers great value to secure the gold medal.

Rugby Sevens: Women’s Final

Coming into these Games as the 2024 SVNS champions, Australia are expected to be right in the mix once again. They won gold in 2016 and have been dominant in their opening two pool matches, winning by a combined score of 70-10. At +150 with leading rugby betting sites, back the Aussies to secure gold once again.

Swimming: Women’s 100m Backstroke Final

While Australia’s Kaylee McKeown (+105) is the reigning Olympic, Commonwealth and world champion, she will face stiff competition from America’s Regan Smith. The 22-year-old set the world record in this event at the US Olympic Trials back in June and hasn’t lost since the 2023 World Championships. Coming in as the favourite, back Smith to win her first gold medal at $2 with top swimming bookmakers.

Swimming: Men’s 800m Freestyle Final

It is a wide-open field in the men’s 800m freestyle, with five swimmers all under $10 odds. However, a value selection is Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen, who enters this event as the world champion. He has set the fastest time in the event this season, so -222.22 for Wiffen to win a medal looks like a certainty.

Swimming: Men’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay Final

Entering as the reigning gold medallists, Great Britain are widely tipped to dominate the 4x200m freestyle once again. Led by 2023 world champion Matt Richards, they have the greatest depth of any quartet, and their fastest add-up time would comfortably beat the current world record. As favourites, back the Brits to win the gold at -200 with BetOnline.

Football: Spain vs Egypt

Second favourites for the gold medal, Spain have had a strong start to the Olympics with two wins from their two matches. They face an Egypt side that has struggled in front of goal, scoring just once so far. With a squad that is filled with European top-flight talent, Spain should salute as -200 favourites with top soccer bookies.
