Second place in the race was claimed by South Korea’s Cha Min Kyu for yet another piece of hardware to add to the host nation’s stack, while Gao Tinyu of the People’s Republic of China nabbed the third step on the podium for the upset.

The Japanese Nao Kodaira makes her appearance as the lady to beat in the 500m race around Gangneung’s big rink, with far and away the best Olympic women’s 500m Long Track Speed Skating odds.

Olympic Women’s 500m Long Track Medal Results

The shortest of the Long Track Speed Skating events at PyeongChang 2018 is on the books, and spectators at the Gangneung Ice Arena were in a for a somewhat surprising outcome, at least if the Olympic Women’s 500m Long Track medal results are to be believed. Nao Kodaira of Japan was heavily favored by the bookies at Bovada to take the gold medal in this quick event, and she did – and handily so. However, the second and third steps on the podium on the night ended up quite a bit different from what was expected, as Korea’s Lee San-hwa got the silver medal and the Czech Republic’s Karolina Erbanova claimed the bronze medal. That was an unlooked-for occurrence in a big way, as Erbanova wasn’t anywhere close to being near the top of the listing of athletes most likely to podium in the event, but she nevertheless drew on deep reserves of heart to get past the other competitors in the race to add another medal to the Czech Republic’s medal count.

Rounding out the winners’ podium was South Korea’s Kim Min Seok, who wasn’t anywhere close to the top of the betting boards but nevertheless didn’t fail to impress the home crowd with a great display of athletic prowess. Chalk it up to grit as much as Kim’s home-field (or in this case home-ice) advantage.

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Women’s 3,000m Long Track Speed Skating Odds

The Netherlands’ dominance in Olympic long track speed skating going into the upcoming 2018 Winter Games is most tenuous in the women’s 3,000m race, to be held at the beginning of long track events at the Gangneung Ice Arena. Long track events involve much more discipline during the race as skaters have to navigate the oval at a much lower pace, usually reserving the final laps for their ultimate burst of energy. The Women’s 3,000m long track speed skating odds give us the impression that we ought to look for the Netherlands to have a close matchup against the Czech Republic’s skaters – and even Japan’s – in this thrilling long track showdown.

Carlijn Achtereekte, who wasn’t anywhere close to the top end of the Bovada and Bet365 betting boards, claimed gold. In fact, this prestigious and much-publicized event’s podium ended up an all-Dutch affair. Ireen Wust, the narrow favorite to win, came in second to grab silver, and Antoinette De Jong, who had the third-best odds going into the event, came away with the bronze medal.

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Women’s 5,000m Long Track Betting Odds

The longest women’s speed skating event on the entire 2018 Winter Olympics schedule is the Olympic 5,000m long track race. Though only slightly longer in duration on paper than the Olympic 3,000m race, the 5,000m is even more grueling, and it’s not uncommon to see racers unable to finish the 30-plus lap endurance race. Participants can also be eliminated for any number of infractions, such as holding, pushing, shoving or failing to yield to a faster skater.

The team pursuits, some of the last events on the schedule at the Gangneung Ice Arena, are also some of the most prime chances for major upsets, and that’s what we saw in the men’s event, as indicated by the Olympic Speed Skating Men’s Team Pursuit medal results released Wednesday morning. Norway, which was tied with Italy and only just above Canada in the second-highest place on the betting board at Bovada (and not even listed as a close contender at Bet365) stormed into the forefront of the pack to take the win over its Dutch rivals. But that wasn’t all the script-flipping that happened on the Big Rink, as the skaters from the Republic of Korea – which weren’t even within the top 10 most likely teams to win this event on the Bovada and Bet365 betting boards – finished second to claim the silver medal for the host nation. Bronze went to the Netherlands, which had the best odds of any team to win the event and by a large margin too. It just goes to show that you can’t discount your competitors, whether you’re skating or just picking winners.

This one turned out just about how the bookies at the legal Olympics betting sites figured it would, but the fans were still enthralled either way. Japan took the gold pretty easily, as we see reflected in the Olympic Speed Skating Women’s Team Pursuit medal results as listed by the official Olympics website. Similarly, the Netherlands’ women’s team took the silver medal without too much of a fuss, which made sense considering the Dutch ladies were tying up the second highest spot on the betting boards at Bovada and Bet365. The women’s team from the United States was the big surprise of the day, posting a solid third-place run to claim the bronze medal in dramatic fashion although the Team USA crew wasn’t even close to being near the top of the listings on the betting boards. If you picked Team USA on a bronze medal prop bet, chances are you made out pretty good when you went to collect, though it was obvious from the odds that Japan had the best shot of all to repeat as the gold medalists.

Nana Takagi of Japan won in a thrilling come-from-behind victory over a field of much-higher ranked competitors, particularly the eventual second and third-place finishers in one of the final long-track speed skating events of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games. The Olympic Speed Skating Women’s Mass Start medal results show the underdog Takagi claiming the gold medal – her second such piece of hardware after winning gold as part of the Japanese women’s team pursuit lineup – despite having +900 odds of doing so, according to Bovada’s betting boards prior to the race. Kim Bo-Reum of South Korea finished second to secure the silver medal, further reinforcing the ROK’s position as one of the preeminent speed skating leaders in international competition, though losing to the lower-rated Takagi obviously had to sting a little bit. Third place and the bronze medal went to Irene Schouten of the Netherlands, though the Dutch skater doubtlessly had similarly high hopes of finishing the race with a gold medal instead of the color she got – her odds to win were almost as good as those of Kim, but she similarly fell to the conquering Japanese skater on the night of Feb. 24.
