    I think at salt lake city, the ski gold winner(from the US) made 1 million from mcdonalds after winning. I've heard some countries paying up to 1 million for 1 gold medal(I don't remember which one(s)).

    In Canada most of the athletes don't make shit... but they get some deals to work part time at rona or some other kind of sponsorship that pays them so they can do sports full time. I think a lot of the athletes also study(university) at the same time. I guess it gets a little bit better when you win medals.


    A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

    So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                Apparently Liu Xiang is worth 23 millions.

                                        Money is from sponsorship I guess as the athletes competing aren't allowed to be pro athletes. I just saw some costs to team GB that kinda go against the 'pay for medals theory' - swimming, cycling, rowing, athletics each cost the GB olympic committee (through the lottery mainly) 20-22 million each event....

                                        swimming won 2 gold, 1 bronze
                                        cycling won 6 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze
                                        rowing won 2 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze
                                        athletics so far no medals

                                        So, whatever the other countries are doing, we know the British OC arent paying for medals...
