We're now in the final stretch of the Winter Olympics, but we still have plenty of fun events to watch and bet on, including the men's snowboarding slopestyle competition.

The qualification runs took place this past Sunday, and now the final runs will take place on Wednesday, when a gold medalist will be determined.

Canada's been short on gold medals in these Olympics, but the good news is they have a competitor who's favored to add one to their total on Wednesday morning. Let's take a look at the odds.

Men's Snowboarding Slopestyle Gold Medal Odds

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

  • Mark McMorris (CAN) +250
  • Redmond Gerard (USA) +250
  • Marcus Kleveland (NOR) +300
  • Dane Menzies (NZL) +300
  • Yiming Su (CHN) +750
  • Ryoma Kimata (JPN) +1500
  • Cameron Spalding (CAN) +1500
  • Oliver Martin (USA) +2000
  • Taiga Hasegawa (JPN) +2500
  • Jake Canter (USA) +2500
  • Mons Roisland (NOR) +3000
  • Romain Allemand (FRA) +3000

McMorris and Redmond Gerard, from the United States, are co-favorites at +250, each with an implied probability of 28.57% of winning. Marcus Kleveland from Norway and Dane Menzies from New Zealand are right behind them at +300. Yiming Su from China is the other one in the top group of five competitors at +750. After Su, the odds drop off before the rest of the field.

Menzies finished with the best score in qualifying at 86.06. The Canadian McMorris had the third-best score at 81.81, sandwiched between Kleveland (81.86) and Ryoma Kimata (80.83)

McMorris is desperate to win the gold medal in this event, having won the bronze medal in three straight editions of the Winter Games. At 32 years old, this is likely has final chance to win Olympic gold. He has the experience and the skill to get it done, so I'm going to ride with the Canadian on Wednesday.

Prediction: Mark McMorris (CAN) +250
