Cadel Evans Tipped To Carry The Flag In 2012 Olympic Betting

Cadel Evans’ memorable 2011 Tour De France win could see him named as the official flag bearer for the Australian team at the 2012 London Olympics, priced as favourite at $2.90 to do so with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Competing in what will be his fourth Olympics, Evans is favourite ahead of fellow four time Olympian Leisel Jones who is priced at $3.75.

Five time world hockey player of the year and 2004 Athens gold medalist Jamie Dwyer has also been given some chance at $5.00, while Sally Pearson is next in the market at $8.00.

“No doubt Cadel is our most recognisable athlete and he has been around the Olympics for a long time, so he ticks all the boxes,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Leisel Jones and Jamie Dwyer have been incredibly successful at the Olympics in the past, but we expect there to be some interest on Sally Pearson at $8.00 given she is our golden girl at the moment.”

Steve Hooker, who is yet to qualify for the Games, is seen as a long shot at $26 along with swimmers James Maggnussen and Stephanie Rice, both at $34.
