There should be no sport in the Olympics where the Olympics isnāt itās pinnacle. Soccer shouldnāt be in it either.
It seems to be a big deal for basketball so Iāll allow that

Olympic menās basketball has been a joke since 1992. Itās a celebrity cavalcade and no more, itās a glorified NBA All-Star game. In the extremely unlikely event the Americans lose they only lose because they all hate each other. Itās a competition to be second.
For team sports if you win gold is it just classified as one gold medal for betting purposes?
Ireland odds on for more than 7.5 medalsā¦if they wonāt the rowing for eg with two in the boat is that two medals? Or if they won the rugby sevens how many medals is that classed as?
Yes

They have the right manager in place anyway
O Connor and Maurice will get a medal. 20 years on from Waterford Crystal won his.
Shows how far Ireland has fallen going from Waterford Crystal to a horse named Maurice.
