Northern Ireland's Alan Campbell is rated a 10/1 chance by bookmakers William Hill to secure a Gold medal, and 2/1 to win any medal in Saturday's Mens Single Sculls final. The Coleraine-man battled through the pain barrier after a poor start in the semi final, and his dramatic sprint finish earned him a place in Saturday mornings Olympic final. The 25 year old became the first British or Northern Irish rower to reach the single sculls final since 1980 - which is an amazing achievement considering he had major knee surgery just three months prior to the Beijing games. William Hill Irish spokesman Tony Kenny commented: "Alan's Olympic Odyssey has really caught the imagination of the people in the province” He continued “We've already seen lots of money for him to win a medal on Saturday morning, and with the determination he's showed over the last few months, you'd be a fool to rule him out." |
