Unless the land a commercial deal promoting kelloggs or something.

I haven't seen any Canadian athletes with commercial deals except for Patrica Felecien (sp?).

I was watching a documentary awhile ago on Daniel Igali, gold medal winner for Canada in Sydney. Even after he won gold, he didn't receive any sponsorship deals, he had to ask Cheerios to sponsor him after meeting one of the execs at an award ceremony.
