Canada's Summer McIntosh is a certain "lock" to win gold in the 400m Individual Medley event on Monday.
The odds were set at -950, requiring a $95 bet to win/profit $10 or $950 to win/profit $100. It's a steep cost but an almost certain win.
The next shortest odds go to Katie Grimes of the USA at 14-1.
How does Summer do it?
“I think it’s her approach – her consistency is second to none,” McIntosh’s coach, Brent Arckey said in an interview. “It’s very rare for her to have just a really bad day. Every day is like an ‘A’ and then we have some ‘A-plus’ days sprinkled in there. And her worst days are better than anybody I’ve seen.
“The times that she goes in practice are at a really high level. Her consistency of what she does outside of the pool is at a really high level and the fact that she’s a 17-year-old makes it even more impressive.”
