Jordan Stolz of the United States is set as the -900 favorite to win the gold medal in the 1000m, which is an implied probability of 90%. Stolz has won every gold medal in every World Cup 1000m event he's raced, dating back to the Tomaszów Mazowiecki event in the middle of the 2023-2024 season.

To put it plainly, he's the most elite speed skater in the world right now, and it'd be hard to imagine him not winning the gold medal in these Winter Games. Don't bother putting your money on anyone else.
