Josh Kerr Odds - Olympic 1500m Athletics Paris 2024 Olympics Betting
Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigsten will continue their rivalry on the track in Tuesday night’s 1500m final as the Great Britain runner looks to improve on his bronze medal from Tokyo, three years ago.
The Edinburgh-born runner won gold at the 2023 World Championships but faces Tokyo gold medallist Ingebrigsten who beat him in the semi-finals and has sparred with Kerr in recent years, creating an obvious rivalry between the two.
Ingebrigsten goes into the race as comfortable favourite with UK betting sites for the final on Tuesday night.

Josh Kerr Medal Chances
The competition and rivalry between Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigsten is palpable, and it is really bubbling up into one of the most intriguing battles on the track at the Games.
There’s not much to separate them either. Ingebrigsten won gold at Tokyo, he is the Olympic record holder and generally has had the better of the rivalry over the years (he has won 12 of their last 15 meetings), but he is undoubtedly a little rattled by Kerr having been beaten by him at the World Championships in Budapest.
The Norwegian produced a solid run in the semi-finals to finish ahead of Kerr, and the bookies think we could be in for a repeat on Tuesday night.
I think there is almost no doubt that Kerr will finish on the podium, but will it be gold?
Experts would say that Ingebrigsten has the enduring quality to beat whatever is thrown at him, but there were signs that his ego could get in the way and Kerr is certainly playing on that. Either way, there should be plenty of drama from these two who are likely to lead from the front throughout, so expect fireworks on and off the track.
