Valarie Allman is the reigning Olympic champion (Paris 2024) and world champion in the discus. Holding the world record at 72.36m and dominating the event for several years, she is the clear favorite. The field includes serious challengers: Sandra Perkovic (CRO, 7-time world champion) and Kristin Pudenz (GER, Olympic silver 2024). The 8-8-6-4 format favors consistent performers. No market odds; calibration: 45%.

Bookmaker odds imply ~66% win probability for the Raiders: moneyline –198, spread –3.5 points. Las Vegas starts with Kirk Cousins (newly signed NFL veteran) under new head coach Klint Kubiak (former Seattle OC). Miami starts Malik Willis as QB — a backup with limited starting experience. Both franchises overhauled leadership in the offseason, making Week 1 results harder to predict; however, the QB disparity clearly favors Las Vegas. No direct Polymarket/Kalshi contracts found for this individual game.

Katzberg is the overwhelming favorite: defending Olympic champion (Paris 2024) and World Champion (Tokyo 2025) with a North American and championship record of 84.70m — the longest hammer throw in 20 years. worldathletics.org dedicated a separate preview article ('Katzberg hammers path to Ultimate honour') rating him as the dominant title defender. No rival shows comparable recent form. Sportsbooks imply ~78–82% based on world rankings and form. The hammer final takes place on Day 1 (September 11, Session 1).

Hocker is the reigning world champion over 5000m (Tokyo 2025, 12:58.30). The field is exceptionally strong: Ingebrigtsen (NOR, PB ~12:48) is a potential favorite but must manage his energy for the 1500m final two days later (September 13) — a structural advantage for Hocker. Also present: Krop (KEN), Yihune (ETH), Fisher and Young (both USA). No direct market quotes available; in a 10+ world-class field, individual win probabilities are structurally limited. Hocker as reigning champion with a tactical edge versus a load-managed Ingebrigtsen is narrow nominal favorite.
