Bullshit you get taxed for medals in the US
Benjamin Brooks
The German number doesn't do us justice
Professional athletes usually join the dedicated sport divisions of the military/police here so they get paid like civil clerks
Zachary Jones
>italy
fuck I'd rather have 0 medals than pay these olympic one hit wonder snowflakers every 4 years
Luis Anderson
do you not just have athletic funding? Over here we have lottery funding, so everyone who buys a lottery ticket supports our athletes
Cameron Roberts
it's the same in the UK. The reason they arent getting bonuses is because the top athletes are on salaries from government grants amounting to +$100000USD per year
their incentive for winning the the knowledge that if they dont their funding will be cut
Levi Bailey
>we do it for free
Hudson Morris
Think it's more like £28000 a year.
Nathaniel Bailey
Serbia 40 000€
Our PM and government are retarded
this
For individual sports it's not that bad, but in team sports they get 40k each
Colton Bailey
my source is the Daily Meme, but yeah
>It is different for athletes, certainly those on comparatively modest government grants of £65,000 a year.
Lucas Harris
Do you think he would actually pay them that?
What if the basketball teams get medals?
Dominic Lee
To piss everyone off.
Bentley Hall
Team USA gets zero (0) USD per year in federal funding.
Kayden Ortiz
British athletes earn most of their money through sponsorships after they win gold.
Apparently Jason Kenny earns less than Laura Trott (even though he has 6 golds and she has 4) because sponsors want a qt face for their products.
Luke Lee
and they have to pay tax on every medal they earn kek
William Murphy
self respect
also lottery funding
Nicholas Lee
Yes even benchwarmers would get their 40k
Christopher Brown
>Usa 25000
Yeah no I don't believe this shit
Robert Ward
At least Nissan is giving this """"beautiful"""" Nissan Leaf to gold winners from GB.

Sebastian Wilson
are you telling me british athletes do it for free?
:^)
Jack Martinez
This is just what they get from the government. They probably get huge wages and sponsorships from other places
Jaxson Cook
>assembled in canada
Eli Wright
They don't get the 25k from the government. They get it from the USOC, which gets no money from the federal government. Our teams are almost completely funded by ads for the popular sports and small-scale fundraisers for shit like kayak/rowing.
Carson Ortiz
>risking zika and robbery
>without compensation
Nathan Roberts
It's around £28,000 a year for top athletes
Landon Thompson
40k euros?
What the actual fuck?
We have 14k euros for solo athletes, 11k euros for team players.
John Foster
>British hobbyist athletes are absolutely BTFOing all these professional athletes from other countries hoping to earn next year's rent
Landon Rodriguez
sounds like a Sup Forums mod's dream job

Voli Pičkousti da priča o sportu. Lakše je o Olimpijskim medaljama nego o pravim problemima.

>Mfw my country can say it'll give 20 million for a gold medal, just because no one stands a chance to win one
Jackson Collins
The difference here is that you get given money to live on prior to the Olympics if you're likely to win a medal instead of when you win a medal
Oliver Cooper
where's china?
Liam Cruz
20k before tax and a car
Jaxson Perez
we give them a bit more than 100k
Brandon Reyes

Zachary Parker
20m Lev is still 11m USD... shit Bulgaria, where do I sign up?
Tyler Gutierrez
