This event group covers the Men's 2-Man Bobsled Driver competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina. Kalshi offers a broad country-level medal market (any medal for 18 nations), while Polymarket offers granular individual driver gold-medal markets. The core question is whether these represent the same underlying event or fundamentally different settlement scopes.
Kalshi and Polymarket measure different settlement targets: Kalshi resolves on any medal (gold/silver/bronze) for 18 nations; Polymarket resolves exclusively on gold for individual drivers. A country can satisfy Kalshi without satisfying any Polymarket driver market, and vice versa.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume Kalshi and Polymarket outcomes are correlated. A YES on Kalshi (e.g., Germany wins silver) will NOT resolve any Polymarket driver market to YES unless that same driver wins gold. Monitor Polymarket placeholder resolution separately; 15 of 36 markets reference unresolved placeholders. For Kalshi, verify medal color (not just medal) at olympics.com before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Country-level, any-medal scope. 18 pre-specified nations (Canada, USA, Switzerland, Trinidad & Tobago, Korea Republic, Netherlands, Great Britain, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Jamaica, Israel, France, Brazil, Germany, Romania, Latvia, China PR). Resolves YES if any of these nations wins gold, silver, or bronze in Men's 2-Man Bobsled. No disqualification carve-out; no timing constraint beyond standard Olympics schedule.
Polymarket: Individual driver, gold-medal-only scope. 15 named drivers + 15 placeholders + 1 catch-all ("someone else"). Each market resolves YES only if that specific driver wins gold. Post-ceremony disqualifications ignored. Ties broken alphabetically by driver name. Cancellation/delay past 31-Mar-2026 11:59 PM ET or no gold declared = "Other". Resolution source: olympics.com.
