The Mens 100 Metres Olympics betting is rivalled only by the World Athletics Championship. However, the Olympics remain the pinnacle of all track and field events, with athletes taking four years to prepare for the chance of bagging a medal. This year, some mouth-watering contests will be played out at the Beijing National Stadium, not least among the speed-demons competing in the sprint events..

Often the most hotly-anticipated event of the Games, the men's 100 metres looks set to live up to its billing. It is hard to see the race as anything other than a three-way scramble for medals between the world's fastest man Usain Bolt (11/8), 2007 world champion Tyson Gay (5/2) and Commonwealth Games champion Asafa Powell (7/4).
All three sprinters look set to be in with a serious shout of grabbing gold. Jamaican Bolt has enjoyed 2008 so far, recording the fastest legal 100 metres of all time when he crossed the finishing line in 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York. Bolt broke the 9.74 record previously set by Powell, who will be looking to make amends for his disappointing third place finish at the World Championships in Osaka last year. He is one of only to men to have run a sub-9.80 time more than once and has 39 sub-10 second finishes under his belt.
Gay, the man who took the gold in Japan, has arguably been the world's top sprinter over the last two years and is also the world 200 metres champion. He retains the distinction of having recorded the quickest 100 metres in history - 9.68 metres - but was assisted by a windspeed which was above the International Association of Athletics Federation's legal limit.
With controversial absence of Dwain Chambers, Simeon Williamson is Great Britain's best chance of a 100 metres medal. The European Athletics U23 Championships champion is 200/1 to stun the world with a gold medal performance.
