Post-Bolt The Tokyo 2020 100m Odds On Christian Coleman Glow

The absence of Usain Bolt will be a talking point for commentators the world over next Summer as the five rings are hauled aloft in Japan for the 32^nd modern Olympic Games and there will be a very noticeable gap in the line up for the final of the race that decides who is the fastest man on the planet. The Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman at Unibet, one of the best online sportsbook sites in Japan, suggest he’ll be the one to watch, but this is a step into uncertainty.

With the inevitability of mass murder in Game of Thrones every time you even mention 2020 people start to roll their eyes and beg you not to talk about the likelihood of Donald Trump retaining the White House, but frankly the Presidential election in the US isn’t actually the most interesting race available to wager upon next year. The Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman make for a far more fascinating wager than the fat orange Nazi or any of his rivals.

You see the Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman sit at around 6/4 on Unibet and Co. That price is currently a superb bet on sports in Japan because it will almost certainly shrink to wafer thin margins if he remains on form. By the time the games themselves come round you’ll not find anything like it being offered on any of the finalists so if you want to get in on this at the right time Unibet have the odds you need, even if you injudiciously wish to back someone else.

Coleman May Be Fastest Man On Earth

 They call the Kentucky Derby the most exciting two minutes in sports but compared to the 10 seconds these guys spend running it looks like a slow motion replay. The Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman are so short because he ran a 9.79 in Brussels last year and that’s blazing fast. Sure, it’s still off Bolt’s world record which stands at 9.58 seconds but without the big man around you have to figure that’ll be quite fast enough to see off the competition next summer.

2020 Olympic Games

• Location – Tokyo, Japan
• Date – 24^th July till 9^th August
• Nationalities – 206
• Competitors – 11,000+
• Events – 339
• Sports – 33
• Disciplines – 50

This is not to say they’ll make it easy for him. Andre de Grasse has run a 9.91 which won him a Bronze in Rio back in 2016 and he gets 9/4 at Bet365 which isn’t too far behind those Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman. Of course, whilst Noah Lyles gets a rather paltry 5/1 the games has often brought forth surprising performances and the America could well be worth taking advantage of Japanese gambling laws to back. If anyone can beat Coleman it’s Lyles.

Yes, de Grasse might get shorter odds but it’s Lyles with the burning desire and now Bolt has gone he’ll want that gold far more badly than the rest of the field. Sure, Yohan Blake could get a look in at 8/1 but that doesn’t seem likely, and Trayvon Bromell would have to display massive improvement twixt now and then to see those 12/1 odds he’s getting to be worth backing instead of the Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman. It might just be too much to ask of him.

2020 Olympic 100m Odds

• AkaniSimbine – South Africa – 33/1
• Adam Gemili – Great Britain – 33/1
• Bingtian Su – China – 25/1
• Reece Prescod – Great Britain – 20/1
• Trayvon Bromell – USA – 12/1
• Yohan Blake – Jamaica – 8/1
• Noah Lyles – USA – 5/1
• Andre de Grasse – Canada – 9/4
• Christian Coleman – USA – 6/4

So then the Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman point to him being Bolt’s successor however these are very big shoes to fill and the pressure could yet take its toll on the twenty three year old from Atlanta, Georgia. It will be at that point the youthful hunger of Noah Lyles will make him a better wager at Unibet, one of the best online betting sites in Japan right now, but the canny will be grabbing up the 5/1 you can get on him right now because that too will tighten.
