It's Day 11 of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and the fun and excitement just continues. If you didn't get a chance to watch the men's pole vault final, check it out on the Peacock replay. Sweden's Armand Duplantis put on an absolute show, and somewhere Sergey Bubka is smiling from ear to ear. Duplantis set a world record of 6.25m in the pole vault at Stade de France, with USA's Sam Kendricks a distant second for silver.

You might discover a new sport you really like to watch. Every four years, I enjoy betting on handball, and I am finding 3x3 basketball to be a lot of fun, too!

Women's Boxing - 4-Leg Gold Medal Parlay (Tue., 4:02 p.m. ET)
We have four divisions that will crown a champion in women's boxing.
In the 50kg division, Buse Naz Cakiroglu (-340) is a heavy favorite to secure the gold medal. She cruised past Italy's Fatima Herrera with a unanimous decision on Aug. 1 in a preliminary bout. She followed that up with a unanimous decision win over Finland's Pihla Kaivo-Oja on Saturday in a quarterfinals matchup. She'll match up with Aira Villegas of the Philippines on Tuesday.
In the 57kg boxing division, that's where the controversy starts. Chinese Taipei's Lin Yu-ting (-500) failed two gender eligibility tests at the 2023 World Championships, but the 28-year-old has competed in Paris, and dominated. She had a unanimous decision win over Sitora Turdibekova in the prelims, and Hungary's Svetlana Staneva flashed an "XX" sign with her fingers following her unanimous-decision loss to Lin on Sunday.
But wait, there's more. Algeria's Imane Khelif is a heavy favorite for gold, and she also is one of the controversial figures due to an unspecified, failed eligibility test in 2023 over elevated levels of testosterone. She posted a 5-0 win over Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori to clinch a medal, coming on the heels of the attention-grabbing win over Italy's Angela Carini in just 46 seconds.
There's no controversy surrounding China's Li Quan (-140) in the 75kg division. She is the fourth leg of this women's boxing parlay.
- Chinese Taipei's Lin Yu-Ting To Win Gold (-500)
- Algeria's Imane Khelif To Win Gold (-500)
- China's Li Quan To Win Gold (-140)
- Turkiye's Buse Naz Cakiroglu To Win Gold (-340)

Women's Handball - Brazil +8.5 (-122) vs. Norway (Tues., 3:30 p.m. ET)
Brazil qualified for the quarterfinals with the fourth spot in Group B. It had a plus-8 goal differential in group play, and the 119 goals allowed were the third-fewest among any team in the group stages.
Norway was No. 1 in team defense, however, while posting 140 goals and a plus-30 goal differential. It allowed just 110 goals, which was lowest by six goals, with Denmark as the next best defensive team with 116 goals conceded.
While there is little doubt that Group A table topper Norway should get the victory, this is a rather big number for the underdogs, especially in the quarterfinal round.
Brazil +8.5 (-122 at FanDuel)
Men's K-1 1000m Canoeing - Czechia's Josef Dostal To Win a Medal (Wed. 4:40 a.m. ET)
This event takes place in the overnight hours in the United States on Wednesday morning.
Czechia's Josef Dostal (-140) is a solid play to get on the podium in the men's K-1 1000m canoeing event. Dostal was the silver medalist in the 2016 Rio Games at Lagoa Stadium in Brazil, coming in just behind Spain's Marcus Walz.
Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary have been generally dominant in the canoe slalom events in recent Olympiads, and Dostal has a silver to his resume in this discipline already.
