Lyles - who came from the clouds to win the 100m final by five thousandths of a second from Jamaica's Kishane Thompson - is an odds-on favourite at 1/5 to win his second gold medal at Paris 2024 in tonight's 200m final.  Lyles cruised into the final yesterday - finishing behind Letsile Tebogo in his semi-final with a time of 20.08.

Great Britain's Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher are 12/1 second-favourites to win gold in the men's synchronised 3m springboard final taking place tomorrow - behind that of China who are very short odds-on favourites. Laugher's experience could prove crucial tomorrow - with the 29-year-old boasting a fantastic résumé that includes gold, silver and bronze medals at the previous three Olympics. Meanwhile, if you're a considerable outsider in the market to upset the applecart in Paris - Italy, Mexico and Spain are all priced at 20/1.

France are evens favourites with Sky Bet to win tonight's men's Olympic football quarter-final in Bordeaux - while Argentina are 13/5 outsiders with Sky Bet to upset the applecart. The home side looked strong during the group stage - winning all three of their fixtures against USA, Guinea and New Zealand by a combined margin of seven goals. Conversely, Argentina kicked off their Olympic campaign with a loss - going down 2-1 at the hands of Morocco in a game marred by controversy. However - they managed to bounce back from that disappointing performance to win their following two group games 3-1 and 2-0 against Iraq and Ukraine respectively.

Australia have two major gold medal hopes in the women's and men's 100m freestyle finals tonight - with Mollie O'Callaghan and Kyle Chalmers priced at 8/13 and 7/2 respectively. O'Callaghan has been incredible in her second Olympic campaign - winning gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay before upsetting compatriot Ariarne Titmus in the 200m freestyle final. O'Callaghan qualified third fastest in the semi-finals - behind that of countrywoman Shayna Jack and Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey. Meanwhile, Chalmers won his semi-final and qualified second fast overall with a time of 47:58. He will undoubtedly need to be quicker in the final if he is to touch the wall first - however - if his final leg in the 4x100m men's freestyle relay final is anything to go by - he most certainly has the ability to do so. Chalmers swam the 100m in 46:59 - 0.21 seconds faster than the world record. It won't be recognised as the new world record however - given it took place in a relay and not in an individual race.

France are 7/4 favourites with Sky Bet to win the gold medal in the men's football at the Paris 2024 Olympics. France impressed in their opening fixture, dominating USA 3-0 before beating Guinea 1-0. Spain - who also won their opener 2-1 against Uzbekistan - are second-favourite in the market at 9/4.

Team GB's Rosie Eccles is 14/1 with Sky Bet to win gold in boxing's women's 66kg division at the Paris 2024 Olympics. That is good enough for joint sixth-favourite in the market.

They are priced at 10/11, 7/2, 9/2, 8/1 and 12/1 respectively.
