Olympic Sport Climbing Expert Picks

When sports fans think Summer Olympics, they don’t often turn to climbing.

Most believe climbing to be one of those hobbies that are more suited for children than anyone else.

Top world climbers, though, are as athletic as almost any person in any other sport.

It takes strength, balance, and flexibility to be a speed climber, the lone category of climbing that offers betting odds.

Check out Olympic odds on speed climbing for both men and women to win gold as well as analysis and picks.

Olympic Speed Climbing Men’s Odds

• Samuel Watson +150
• Wu Peng +225
• Matteo Zerloni +350
• Veddriq Leonardo +1000
• Yaroslav Tkach +1200
• Long Jinbao +1200
• Zach Hammer +1400
• Rahmad Ani Mulyono +1600
• Razi Alipour +2200
• Amir Maimuratov +2200

Men’s Sport Climbing Odds

The chalk offers overlay odds.

Also, and this is the most important part, Watson holds the record for the fastest climbing time at 4.789 seconds.

Sam Watson is the top pick.

If you’re looking for an underdog, consider backing Long Jinbao.

His accomplishments pale in comparison to Watson’s, but so do almost everyone competing at the Olympics in climbing.

Jinbao won silver at the IFSC Climbing World Championships.

If he has improved off that performance, he has a chance at the upset.

Olympic Speed Climbing Pick: Samuel Watson

Olympic Speed Climbing Underdog Pick: Long Jinbao

Olympic Speed Climbing Women’s Odds

• Janja Garnbret -525
• Brooke Raboutou +500
• Ai Mori +900
• Seo-Chae Hyun +1600
• Natalia Grossman +1600
• Jessica Pilz +2000
• Zelia Avezou +2800
• Orianne Borton +2800
• Miho Nonaka +2800

Garnbret started climbing at age 7.

How good is Garnbret?

She’s also the defending gold medalist, the first to ever win a gold for climbing when she took home the hardware at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Beating Garnbret is going to be tough.

If you decide to go against her in speed climbing, don’t back someone like Brooke Raboutou.

Yes, Raboutou can get it done if Garnbret falters, but the odds on Raboutou makes her an underlay.

Consider backing one of the +1600 to +3500 shots.

Natalia Grossman is more of a boulder than a speed climber.

If she transfers her bouldering form to speed climbing, and Garnbret falters, Grossman could get it done.

She’s the upset pick.

Olympic Speed Climbing Pick: Janja Garnbret

Olympic Speed Climbing Underdog Pick: Natalia Grossman
