The women's swimming 400 meter individual medley final will take place at 2:30 p.m. ET on Monday afternoon and two Americans are favored to medal.

Americans Katie Grimes (-167) and Emma Weyant (-134) are favored at BetRivers to finish with at least bronze in the Monday afternoon event, which will air on Peacock.

They're longshots to win it all, however. That honor goes to Summer McIntosh from Canada, who holds the world record in this event, which she set in 2023. Her odds are so short that she's off the board across most American sportsbooks to win this event.

Meanwhile, Grimes and Weyant put up the two best times in the preliminary heats for this event. While McIntosh finished in third, she was conserving energy for the final.

Grimes (+1400) and Weyant (+1600) will likely have to put up personal records in order to beat out McIntosh, who is looking for her first career Olympic gold medal.

Ella Ramsay (Australia)+6000+410
Katie Shanahan (Great Britain)+10000+750
Ellen Walshe (Ireland)+10000+750

Odds are according to BetRivers as of Monday afternoon.

Freya Colbert from Great Britain could spoil the American party, however. Colbert won the world championships in this event earlier this year and looked poised during preliminaries. Her odds at +1600 to win gold and -134 to win a medal put her neck-and-neck with Weyant, who finished with a silver medal in this event in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
