The Women’s Biathlon event takes place in Hichfilzen, a small village in Austria. An event with 7 competitors on similar odds looks to make this Biathlon a great spectacle. Magdalena Neuner earns her top odds to win outright of 5/2 (Bet365) from an impressive record in 2007 culminating in being named German female sportsperson of the year. Just behind Neuner sit Svetlana Sleptsova the young Russian, and Martina Beck the German renowned for her shooting ability, both have odds of 7/2 (Bet365). The bookmakers agree that it’s impossible to rule German army Sergeant Kati Wilhelm out of this event and the German 3 times Olympic gold medallist and 2006 female sportsperson of the year is given attractive odds of 5/1 (Bet365).
Those of you looking to bet on podium finishers need look no further than Martina Beck, the favourite looks almost guaranteed of a podium placed finish in the 15km Biathlon event with her odds as high as 1/1 (Bet365). A nice outsider for a podium finish would be Norwegian Solveig Rogstad, the 26 year old has enjoyed success in pursuit and team relay events and hopes this rubs off in her Biathlon event. Odds of 7/1 (Bet365) for a podium finish suggest that it may just.
