George Mills will be desperate to defy his 50/1 odds as he goes for gold in the men's 5000m final on Saturday night after being reinstated into the event.
The Team GB star's Olympic dream appeared to have come crashing to a halt after his qualifying heat descended into chaos earlier this week when he and three other competitors were involved in a nasty collision coming down the home straight.
Mills, the son of former England footballer Danny Mills, was embroiled in a heated altercation with French athlete Hugo Hay, who appeared to have sent the British star, along with a couple of other competitors, tumbling.
However, following a video review of the incident all four 5000m hopefuls were handed a reprieve by the IOC, and handed an automatic qualifying spot for Saturday's final.
Still, it appears as though Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen is the man to beat, with the 2020 1500m Olympic champion the well-backed 1/3 favourite to add another gold medal to his collection.
Ethiopa's 9/2 shot Hagos Gebrhiwet is another live contender with the 30-year-old having previously landed a bronze medal in this event, at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016.
