Odds to Win Gold - Men's Alpine Skiing - Downhill - 2018 Winter Olympics

Gambling911.com has your odds of winning gold in the Alpine Skiing Men's Downhill event at this year's Winter Olympics.

Beat Feuz was coming in as the new favorite at +225 odds.  Aksel Lund Svindal had originally been instilled as the favorite but was currently at +350 odds, a half point longer than Kjetil Jansrud.

Feuz, 30, is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer, specializing in the speed events of downhill and super-G.

Austrian Olympic great Franz Klammer was betting on Feuz to win this event.

"He's really strong, he's my favourite but also the Austrians are quite good, so if everything goes right we will make a medal, definitely," said the 1976 Olympic champion, whose name is still synonymous with the glamour and danger of Alpine ski racing.

"His prospects are very good. I liked him in training. He was loose, he was good. But he always makes some mistakes, so when he can avoid mistakes he will be up there and he could defend his title," Klammer told Reuters in an interview on the eve of the Olympic race.
