Ronnie Baker of Team United States and Shuhei Tada of Team Japan compete in the Men’s 100m Round 1 heats on day eight of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Olympic Stadium on July 31, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan.

The event finals begin in gymnastics for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this evening, with four of the 10 gold medals to be awarded for individual brilliance on an apparatus awarded tonight. Eight men will compete in floor exercise and pommel horse, with eight women each on vault and uneven bars.

Artem Dolgopat of Israel is the favorite in the floor exercise at +170, with Max Whitlock at +175 the chalk on pommel horse, an even that requires plenty of actual chalk, at DraftKings Sportsbook.

In track and field the race to be called the world’s fastest human is men’s 100m dash final, with Americans Trayvon Bromell and Ronnie Baker listed as co-favorites at +275 with Andre De Graase of Canada at the same price.

And the BMX freestyle gold medals will be awarded for both women and men in prime time, with American men Nick Bruce and Justin Dowdell amongst the favorites. Perris Benegas and Hannah Roberts will be in the mix on the women’s side for Team USA.
