I agree BS.
Also think there are other sure things at the Olympics such as USA in womens basketball ($1.20) and softball ($1.15), so putting them into a multi gives you a reasonable return.
Katajima should easily win the 200m breaststroke ($1.12) and you can improve your dividend by backing Phelps.

In athens the americans didnt include anyone that could actually shoot a jumpshot. They struggled massively against the European teams that clogged the keyway and left them open on the perimeter. Think they have included Michal Redd in this years squad which should help them with their shooting. Also Jason Kidd will be the starting point guard (ahead of chris paul)to ensure they play more team orientated basketball.

They should win but i think they are too short to have a flutter considering they havent won the last 2 major international basketball comps (athens and the world championships)

USA to win the mens basketball at $1.01 has to be better than the two sides that Sportsbet are taking bets on that WILL NOT be in Bejing. Sportsbet are currently offering odds for Italy and Puerto Rico, while do not have Germany or Croatia (who are competeing) listed.
Its even more "wide open" at sportingbet who still have 21 nations that they are giving odds for
