@@bobbobby5141The US athletes are supported by both government and private funds and sponsors way more than athletes in other countries, which includes a continuous "salary" payment. Just because this one prize is smaller doesn't mean that's all they get. Most US athletes have net worths of millions, there's very little point to keep pouring money to people who already have enough. Smaller countries are not able to support athletes every day of their careers, so they use the stipends for winners as a way to support them.
@bobbobby5141 US doesn't send money to Ukraine. They send military equipment already in our arsenal. Our arsenal is replenished with new military equipment. US government does not pay athletes.
I love how she thinks anyone making an Olympic team is an amateur athlete and not a professional who has had to compete to be ranked just to be able to even enter to qualify for the qualification events.
The author of this video failed to mention ENTIRETY of what a Polish gold medalist receives: about $63000 + two-bedroom condo/flat + painting + diamond + travel voucher + monthly stipend while remaining a professional athlete + monthly pension of about $1000 after reaching age of 40 + sponsorship deals. Seems like a pretty sweet deal.
Indians winning gold. Central govt - around a million USD State govt- atleast 500k USD Big Indian companies gifts luxury cars and cash too. Starts getting brand endorsements worth millions literally. 💪
Turkey gives 1000 republic gold to gold medal winners, 600 republic gold to silver medal winners and 300 republic gold to bronze medal winners. If we calculate this republic gold in dollars, 1000 republic gold amounts to approximately 529,000 dollars.
The US wins 100+ medals on average per Olympics. HongKong on average wins 1. You cannot expect the government to pay 700k to 100+ athletes. Also US is a free market country, the opportunities Olympians get for sponsorships & revenue streams are usually pretty good.
Hey, Hong Kong insider here. The government also awarded the two time fencing winner with around 300k USD on top of the 700something thousand USD, not accounting for the money they get from donations, olympics themselves, it’s definitely well over a million.
Amateur is a real term in sports. It means someone who hasn't gone pro, as in a person who has a day job and does sports as a passion without recieving any financial compensation for it. Lots of world class athletes are amateurs.
Some data from Uzbekistan, one girl won a gold medal from judo, she’s awarded with Tahoe, 200K, 3-room apartment in the capital of Uzb, 100K, an apartment in her hometown and another car
We have few athletes who make it into that level though that's why the prize is high. Even some fil-ams and Filipinos who once represented a foreign country now wants to represent the Philippines.

Seriously 170+k USD for gold medal with condo unit twice the value of the prize money in the middle of a manicured and posh township and a free lifetime meal at one of the biggest buffets in the country. That's a lot. Not to mention the sponsorships they will receive from the biggest brands.
Just for more information, MTR(Hong Kong subway transportation company) gave every medalist 1 year free pass, Cathay pacific(Hong Kong based airliner) gave out 1 year free business class pass for every medalist

Oh no a few million would be “blown” on funding our athletes in the OLYMPICS! But we can easily spend billions on the police and trillions on the military

That’s why you are only reporters working for B/R in US! You don’t understand how hard it is to be an athlete in HONG KONG. Most of the athletes don’t get supported by the government as there are rarely professional league, e.g in women and men’s soccer, or basketball, or softball, baseball. You have to work 2 part time jobs just to make ends meet and fight to rent limited soccer fields to practice. Most athletes in HK are amateur and not supported financially by the government or universities and the like. It’s lucky to be athletes in US where you get scholarships and now the NIL programs. Only a fraction of the athletes are financially supported by the government. In all fairness, it’s hell working 2 jobs and be training part time, you oftentimes don’t get to the results before you have to give up your dreams of playing soccer professionally. If I have the leverage in the future, I will go buy a J League (J1) team and provide a pathway for HK soccer players to grow. HK is just so dominated by Lee KA Shing’s real estate empire and colluded with HK government’s scheme to stifle any growth in other industries like tech, sports, entertainment, and arts. It isn’t like Singapore and US!
Our Philippine double gold gymnastics winner Carlos Yulo is already at around 1.5M mostly from private companies thanking him for the pride and glory he has brought to our nation.

Free cookies for life from a local bakery 7. Free food for life from multiple local restaurants 8. Free engineering education
That's completely false. That diver (Quan) is already very, very wealthy at the age of 17. I'm sure Pan will be an instant millionaire when he returns if he isn't one already.
Probably that's why our wise elders have always told us to compare ourselves with the less privileged and not develop bad feelings by comparing with whoever gets better than us!!
In israel there's not a single medalist who won't get tons of contracts, brand deals and get invited to reality shows for their success so it goes way higher than 200k$, athletes in israel are very respected and well paid even outside of the Olympics (if they are good at what they do of course) so I know I can take pride in our medalists and know that their efforts has also been recognized properly❤
What is really missing for the World Cup in the next years. It can also be here with Chet Holmgren or more than him in size and height to give a confession to Wemby or not 😏...
In brazil the gold medal payout is R$ 350k (roughly 62k US dollars), but since the monthly income of 90% of the population is R$ 1.500,00, one gold medal is equal to 19,4 years of a wage of a medium brazilian worker.
Some of the countries that have big payouts don’t win a whole lot of good medals or a lot of medals in general. The biggest payout for any athlete is being sponsored after the Olympics.
Recently in Indonesia, gold medals brought back here by athletes will no longer be taxed, government concern has increased from before, tax is important but for now because it has been seen by the public, specifically the medals will not be taxed.
You and I have the same mindset. Hang in there! We’ll get through this stronger on the other side! Keep building that everyday savings and retirement accounts. Props brother!
Carlos Yulo of the Philippines 2 gold performance awards him TWO ( 2 ) million US DOLLARS incentives and endorsements. For now he's the richest athlete in Paris 2024.
People need to remember how many gold medals USA is getting in comparison to some other countries. 38k doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re paying that out to the winners of 40 gold medals (some of which are team sports), all of a sudden the money is looking like a lot more than 1 or 2 payments of 700k.

Vivian from Hong Kong got given a lifetime free pass on public transport from the MTR
That’s why you are only reporters working for B/R in US! You don’t understand how hard it is to be an athlete in HONG KONG. Most of the athletes don’t get supported by the government as there are rarely professional league, e.g in women and men’s soccer, or basketball, or softball, baseball. You have to work 2 part time jobs just to make ends meet and fight to rent limited soccer fields to practice. Most athletes in HK are amateur and not supported financially by the government or universities and the like. It’s lucky to be athletes in US where you get scholarships and now the NIL programs. Only a fraction of the athletes are financially supported by the government. In all fairness, it’s hell working 2 jobs and be training part time, you oftentimes don’t get to the results before you have to give up your dreams of playing soccer professionally. If I have the leverage in the future, I will go buy a J League (J1) team and provide a pathway for HK soccer players to grow. HK is just so dominated by Lee KA Shing’s real estate empire and colluded with HK government’s scheme to stifle any growth in other industries like tech, sports, entertainment, and arts. It isn’t like Singapore and US!

Some of the countries that have big payouts don’t win a whole lot of good medals or a lot of medals in general. The biggest payout for any athlete is being sponsored after the Olympics.
Aaaand that's why Norway gets away with paying 0$ for medals.
In the Philippines, gold medalists get $100k and a house plus some other extras.
Thailand pays 340k for gold medalist and they also earn extra monthly income from the government for 20 years.
Recently in Indonesia, gold medals brought back here by athletes will no longer be taxed, government concern has increased from before, tax is important but for now because it has been seen by the public, specifically the medals will not be taxed.
