April Ross has a silver and a bronze medal from her previous Olympics, both won with her legendary former partners Jen Kessy and Kerri Walsh-Jennings. But tonight she looks to complete the set with Alix Klineman, as the A-Team plays in the gold medal match in women’s beach volleyball at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
They’ll face the Australian duo of Mariafe Artacho de Solar and Taliqua Clancy with the biggest prize in the sport on the line at 10:30 p.m. ET on Thursday night, which is 11:30 a.m. in Tokyo. Right now at DraftKings Sportsbook, the Americans are -225 favorites to become Olympic champions, with the Aussies at +165.
Also tonight at the velodrome is the women’s Madison, perhaps the most fun race for fans on the Olympic track cycling schedule. It’s a relay race where two-person teams sprint for points every 10 laps and for final track position, but the move is to lap the field and pick up the massive 20 point bonus whenever possible. It’s 120 laps, which equals 30 kilometers on the 250m track. The Netherlands is a -155 favorite, with the Americans coming in at +2000.
Finally on the running track tonight we could see the last individual race of Allyson Felix, one of the legends of American track and field in the women’s 400m final. She’ll be well behind Shaunae Miller-Uibo by the odds, who is -175 to win the Bahamas first gold in this event. Felix will start in the not-preferred Lane 9 as a +1200 underdog.
