Comment from : prorangerr

They spend all those millions in what? Most athletes don't have money unless they became big names, most of those millions are going to the owners of the places where they train and executives while the athletes that are the ones who make all the work barely get anything unless they turn into celebrities

Kenya decided to offer its track athletes special positions in the police service to combat this problem Alot of the Kenyan athletes are also "policemen" they receive the same salary as other policemen but they dont have to actually serve as police instead they are given the freedom to focus exclusively on their sport

When you watch OL and you see tears in the winners eyes You know the dedication and suffering to get there Have the talent and the gene but didn’t get the chance It hunts you every time you see OL You have to win, to understand, how it feel to not do it again
Comment from : suthesan arasu

The difference between the US team and other countries, Team USA is privately funded not funded by government
Comment from : Malign M

The US need to have a system where you get a backing from a state or federal government department so the athletes receive a salary and a secure job in a government department when they retire
Comment from : Ronak Dhingra

Just goes to show the athletes do it for pure love of the sport
Comment from : Nemo Solis

Comment from : Machel Awili

In Italy you are part of the armed forces while you are an athlete and you can focus entirely on your sport career because you get the standard payment of a soldier

Comment from : Shakia Korieocha

sponsorships and brand deals
Comment from : Nn K

Bro I'm from Trinidad, my fam stopped supporting me when I turned 18, I found boxing shortly after and managed 6 months before realising that I'd have to be crazy if I think I can up keep all tgis eating and training and working as a boxer, coaches are sub par and don't really care about you if you show bo signs of being the next best thing Even tho I improved rapidly the coaches and athletes had a argument about trusting them They take money from under us to fund their lives and want us to risk ours in national games, caribbean, regional, international and if we survive all that, olympics Absolute fuckery
Comment from : M0NK3Y & M0N3Y PR0DUCTI0NS

Singapore pays around 735k usd for an individual gold medal at the olympics
Comment from : Dwayne Yap

Some sports will have sponsor deals while others wont I am glad the sports that lack viewership are still in the Olympics Imagine if the Olypmic board decided to remove the sports that lacked viewership to make room for other events, that would be crazy

America The land of hidden costs
Comment from : Arah Yoonseul

Damnnn I didn't know these athletes were struggling financially so badly
Comment from : Ronaldo George

Comment from : Poison Apple

In the Philippines if you won a gold medal you will get 13Millions pesos, almost 200,000+ dollors and house and lot
Comment from : Joseph Isaiah

For tokyo olympics Indonesian athletes will make around 345K for gold, 138K for silver, 70K for bronze (in US $)
Comment from : toorelentless

Even my country, Latvia, which has substantially smaller population and substantially smaller GDP, pays more than 5 times that amount for the gold medal than the US does Quite depressing I think it was 142 thousand euros, which is around 167k dollars And keep in mind that our salaries are proportionally smaller than that of the US So, minus the costs for the training, equipment, and all that other stuff, you would be set for like 5 years if not more
Comment from : Frost

a bronze medalist in my country, philippines, even got 50K USD tax free plus more endorsements so seeing US athletes get less is weird

Comment from : Nikhil Guleria

Most athletes I know are very privileged and are extremely lucky don't have to study go to best colleges (yet they barely can reads) no problem making friends, finding dates, getting a job tons of doors are open to them so stop trying making us feel sorry for privileged people 😊😁
Comment from : Cinema Paradiso
