What Are The Odds to Win - Men's Surfing Gold Medal - Paris Olympics

• Gabriel Medina of Brazil is the favorite to win gold in Surfing at this year's Summer Olympics, but not by much.
• John John Florence of France is a little longer than a half point from Medina in the odds.

There are six qualifiers in the single digits for Surfing gold at this summer's "Paris" Olympics.

"Paris" is in quotes as this event will not be taking place there.

In fact, the surfing competition will be 10,000 miles from the middle of the Olympic action in Paris.  48 of the best surfers in the world will be competing off the coastal village of Teahupo’o in Tahiti, an island in French Polynesia.

And a fun fact: Holding the surfing events in Tahiti marks the longest distance in history between an Olympic competition and the host city of the Games, at 9,765 miles between the small island and Paris.

Surfing made its debut appearance at the 2020 Summer Olympics in 2020 in Tokyo, Japan.

Medina won the 2014, 2018 and 2021 WSL World Championships. With 18 WSL Championship Tour (CT) event wins and 31 Final appearances under his belt.  He is second only to Kelly Slater for the most World Titles among surfers currently on the men's CT.

Medina would pay out $210 for every $100 bet should he win the gold.
