Japanese favourite Kawano may only be 22 but his talent in this event is undeniable and I’ll back him to take gold in his home event.
The world number five set a national record of 3:36.45 back in 2019 and has been eying off this event since he switched to this event from long distance running.
With his pedigree he will be tough to beat on his home track.
BET: Masatora Kawano to Win Gold at $5.00
Bet Number Two:
We won’t be represented by a key medal chance like Jared Talent this year, but there is some great value to be found in betting for the Men’s 50km walk, and I’m going to have a Same Game Multi.
Leading local Masatora Kawano has opened a warm favourite in betting, but in front of his home crowd and with everything on the line, I’m confident he will step up and win Gold.
There is no doubt that the twenty-two-year-old has gone to a new level throughout the last year, and he strikes his home Olympics in peak form.
I’m going to pump up my odds further with consistent veteran Yohann Diniz winning a medal.
BET: SGM: Kawano Gold/Diniz Medal at $11.77
