NBA lottery pick
Olympics athletes are underpaid.
In US, they get a 25K US bonus for a gold medal, 15 for a silver and 10 for a bronze.
The British athletes don't get anything . They have no bonuses.
Those who don't win medals don't get anything.
These athletes work full time. They give their everything and the government treat them like shit.
Most of them have to fund themselves to get to the olympics.
A gold medal should be atleast a million US reward.

Re: Olympics athletes are underpaid.
they get paid from sponsorship deals
the performance itself has no value whatsoever, the only thing that matters is your screentime and how good you look during that screentime

That's the case for like less than 5% of the athletes.

Why? Countries don't get any money from how well they do in the Olympics

Re: Olympics athletes are underpaid.
LOL. A guy chooses of his own volition to practice high diving or shot put or badminton or canoe slalom for countless hours each week, and tax payers are supposed to reimburse him for this?
That's great if he achieves his goals and wins Olympic medals. I'm genuinely happy for him/her. It doesn't earn them some right to other people's money though.

Olympics aren't about the money.
Athletes don't compete in the Olympics because they expect money.
Keep money out of the Olympics.

Re: Olympics athletes are underpaid.
In Singapore, they get $750,000 a gold medal.
Phelps should move.
Is that figure correct though OP? It seems very underwhelming.

Preparing for Olympics is like a full-time job.
These atheletes don't get paid anything for all of their work (unless they win medals).
They give their everything for the country, but the country don't give them anything.
