Key Highlights
The Odds Game in Snowboarding
Eliot Grondin is the betting favorite to win the gold medal in the men’s snowboard cross event. But you might think this is new, but… Grondin has a storied history.
He won this event at the 2025 World Championships, defeating Bozzolo, Hammerle, and Dusek in the final. Yet, Grondin isn’t always a sure thing. His +220 odds imply only a 31.25% chance of winning.
Who Else to Watch
There are six snowboarders with a realistic shot at the gold: Adam Lambert (AUS), Alessandro Haemmerle (AUT), Jonas Chollet (FRA), Loan Bozzolo (FRA), Jakob Dusek (AUT). Hammerle won the gold medal in 2022, but Grondin came second. Grondin’s past performance suggests he’s a strong contender.
But don’t overlook Bozzolo at +750 odds. He finished second at the world championships, and his chances are worth considering.
Expert Picks
Based on form and recent history, I’m giving Bozzolo a look. His past success in this event makes him a compelling choice. If you’re looking for value, he could be the one to watch tonight.
Remember, betting odds can change rapidly, so keep an eye out.
So, who do you think will take home the gold? Eliot Grondin or perhaps Loan Bozzolo?
