Given the sport's long-standing history and tradition, numerous Olympic rowing betting odds for Paris 2024 are now available at various sportsbooks.
The anticipation for Olympic rowing betting is mounting, with enthusiasts from every corner of the planet eager to partake. The national pride that comes from supporting one’s country in the Olympics is unmatched, overshadowing the fervor for local clubs and teams. Although the competition may not feature all the established stars of the rowing world, it presents an opportunity for emerging talents to shine, promising thrilling encounters for fans and bettors alike.
Rowing has been a sport for over 200 years, originating from university competitions on the River Thames in Great Britain. Similar to the football rivalries between colleges in America, England has its rowing rivalries. The first Olympic rowing betting odds appeared when rowing was introduced to the Olympics in 1900 at the Paris Games. Rowing is an intense sport requiring exceptional teamwork to win any of the 12 gold medal events for pairs, quads, and eights. The singles’ sculls events are equally thrilling, adding two more gold medals to the competition.
Rowing has two classifications: sweep and sculling. In sweep events, crew members each have one oar to paddle on one side of the boat. In sculling events, athletes paddle on both sides of the boat, holding one oar in each hand. Before starting, all boats must line up to prevent false starts. Each team is allowed one false start, but any additional false starts result in disqualification. Boats can switch lanes as long as they do not interfere with others. The races are 2000 meters long, spanning six lanes, with buoy markers every 500 meters.
Historically, Great Britain, Germany, and the US have been top contenders. While the US leads in rowing gold medals and total medals, they haven’t dominated since the 1964 Tokyo Games. For the 2024 Paris Olympic rowing odds, the field is diverse until all qualified athletes are confirmed.
The U.S. men’s four excelled at the 2023 World Rowing Championships in Belgrade, winning the semifinal and securing a spot for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The team, comprising Liam Corrigan, Michael Grady, Nick Mead, and Justin Best, led from the start and finished in 6:25.99, ahead of Great Britain and The Netherlands. Their Olympic betting odds will likely be favorable once released.
The American women’s teams also secured their spots in Paris. The women’s four and women’s pair ensured the U.S. presence at the 2024 Olympics. Claire Collins, Madeleine Wanamaker, Kelsey Reelick, and Molly Bruggeman finished second in the World Championship semifinal. Great Britain won with a time five seconds faster, but The Netherlands emerged victorious with a time of 6:52.72.
