My moral of the story: Olympic medals raakapothe vacchina nastam emi ledhu...the country has bigger problems than this time pass. India ki medals raakapothe players live in poverty, we need to encourage more kids to take up sports ani ekkuva feel avvakandi. Its the same story even in US. Most people will choose what will reliably feed them and there is nothing wrong with it. | ||

In general private leagues are 1000 times better than national sports Raju garu...there is no playing for the country, sacrifice for country nonsense. Players know they are working for a company like a job, they get paid per performance. Company has to do well to earn well...so less scope for politics...audeince also needed to be treated well with good facilities and entertainment...otherwise they won't give their money. Anduke evaranna IPL is bad for cricket ante gooba meedha kottabuddhi avutundhi. | ||

Cyrus Hostetler made Team USA as a javelin thrower for the 2012 London Games, and placed 32nd. As a returning Olympian, he expected the USOC or USA Track and Field would make more resources available to help him improve for Rio. He experienced something different. In late 2015, USA Track and Field Director of Sport Performance Peter âDuffyâ Mahoney told Hostetler in an email that, after consulting with USOC staff, he had decided âyou do not exhibit sufficient finalist or medalist potential.â Hostetler, 29, was living in a dormitory-style room at the USOC training center in California at the time, training every day with other javelin throwers. (There is no Team USA or USA Track and Field javelin coach; the throwers basically train themselves.) Mahoney â who makes $152,000 â informed Hostetler that USA Track and Field was cancelling funding for his bed, food and treatment at the center. If Hostetler wanted to stay, heâd have to pay: $200 a month to train, $10 per meal, $43 per hour for massage therapy, and $100 per hour for medical treatment. âHe basically was telling me, âI donât believe in you, I donât think youâre worth my money, so I want you to pay me instead.â It felt like he was milking me for all I was worth,â Hostetler said in a phone interview. Angry but undeterred, Hostetler moved into cheap housing nearby provided by a former Norwegian competitor and kept showing up at the center every day to train. He stopped eating there, or getting medical or therapeutic treatment. A few months later, Hostetler got a call from a training center employee, who told him he owed several hundred dollars for training fees. Hostetler ignored it. âI said Iâm just going to wait until someone forces me to pay .â.â. I would have loved to have seen USA Track and Field send me to collections,â Hostetler said. At this monthâs Olympic trials, Hostetler rebounded from a slow start to hurl a javelin 273 feet 1 inch, winning the national title and a spot on Team USA. The experience with USA Track and Field has left Hostetler bitter about how his Olympic career will end. Heâs a long shot to medal, but he knows even if he does, the moment will be tainted. Mahoney will âhave paid me nothing, and Iâll have just won a medal he can take credit for,â Hostetler said. After the Games, Hostetler plans to take some time off, during which heâll try to figure out what do with the rest of his life. âI could go work for USA Track and Field and do less than I do now and make more money. I could flip burgers and make more money than I do now,â Hostetler said. âIf I could do it all over again, I probably wouldnât do this.â In an email, spokeswoman Jill Geer said USA Track and Field dropped Hostetler from its training program because he did not meet competitive standards last year. âCyrus had a great performance at the Olympic Trials and we are pleased to have him on the team in Rio,â Geer wrote. | ||

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/olympic-execu tives-cash-in-on-a-movement-that-keeps-athletes-poor/2016/07 /30/ed18c206-5346-11e6-88eb-7dda4e2f2aec_story.html The stories of U.S. Olympians persisting despite paltry pay are common. Before finding fame and fortune as a UFC fighter, Ronda Rousey won a bronze medal in judo in 2008 â and said she was living out of her car a few months later. Speedskater Emily Scott said she needed food stamps to get by as she trained for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Hostetler, who has been one of the best American javelin throwers for the past eight years, said heâs relied on both food stamps and unemployment benefits. While many athletes struggle to pay their rent or buy groceries, the billions the Rio Games will generate will flow into the paychecks and extravagant perks enjoyed by IOC members, USOC staffers, and employees and volunteers with the hundreds of sports organizations that comprise âthe Movement.â USA Swimming Executive Director Chuck Wielgus makes $854,000, and national swim team director Frank Busch makes $346,000; their swimmers competing in Rio next month can make monthly stipends that cap at $42,000 per year. USA Triathlon CEO Rob Urbach makes $362,000 while Team USA triathletes compete for stipends that range from about $20,000 to $40,000 a year. The coach of the USA Rowing womenâs team makes $237,000 while his rowers vie for stipends that max out at about $20,000 per year. (U.S. Olympic athletes are given an additional stipend if they win a gold, silver or bronze medal.) âIâve never thought it was fair,â said rower Caroline Lind, a two-time gold medalist who recently retired after a back injury. âWeâre all replaceable. .â.â. Thereâs not really a concern for the individual athletes.â The IOC declined to make anyone available for an interview for this story. USOC CEO Scott Blackmun, in a phone interview, defended how his organization has governed the Olympic system in the United States. Unlike national Olympic committees in many other countries, Blackmun noted, the USOC receives no government support to help it pay athletes. | ||

Another hard hitting story from Washington post..they are not even talking about the Millions earned by corrupt IOC officials: Olympic executives cash in on a âMovementâ that keeps athletes poor At the very top of âthe Movementâ sits the International Olympic Committee, a nonprofit run by a âvolunteerâ president who gets an annual âallowanceâ of $251,000 and lives rent-free in a five-star hotel and spa in Switzerland. At the very bottom of âthe Movementâ â beneath the IOC members who travel first-class and get paid thousands of dollars just to attend the Olympics, beneath the executives who make hundreds of thousands to organize the Games, beneath the international sports federations, the national sport federations and the national Olympic committees and all of their employees â are the actual athletes whose moments of triumph and pain will flicker on television screens around the globe starting Friday. This story is based on interviews with dozens of people familiar with the Olympic Movement â current and former athletes, executives and lawyers who have represented athletes â and a review of hundreds of pages of financial documents from organizations including the IOC, the U.S. Olympic Committee and several U.S. sport federations. The picture that emerges is a multibillion-dollar entertainment industry whose entertainers are, in this country, often expected to raise their own income or live in poverty. There is no comprehensive data on U.S. Olympic athlete pay, but information collected by a nonprofit last year from 150 track and field athletes ranked in the top 10 in the country in their events found an average income of $16,553. Even USOC officials concede that, with the exceptions of the handful of megastars such as Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte who rake in big endorsement money and those who play sports with lucrative professional leagues, most U.S. Olympic athletes cannot earn enough from their sports to make a living. | ||

Lot of them have real day jobs...not namesake ones like SP, Railaway Manager etc. Recognition kooda very little outside their town/workplace. http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/12/news/olympians-gold-medals-t axes-us/ Like many Olympians, Muhammad owes a lot to a local business -- in her case, the club where she trains. "I wouldn't be in fencing were it not for the club that I fence for," she said. "They subsidized a lot of my costs and they have kept me going." She gets a small training stipend from the USOC, but many athletes don't. And Muhammad is lucky to have some big endorsements -- Visa (V) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS). She even has her own fashion line of modest clothing, Louella, that also produces income. But even all of that doesn't cover her expenses outside of fencing. So she started a $35,000 crowd funding campaign to bring her parents and four siblings to Rio. With nine days left, she's raised over $15,000. Runner Brandon Hudgins has lived on $15,000 to $18,000 a year since 2011. Then in June he quit his job. He'd been making $10 an hour at a resort, but he gave notice because he couldn't get race days off. By his estimate, Hudgins, 29, expects to run out of money by "mid-July." "What's more important: The 19 years I've put into running, or a barely minimum wage job? Sometimes you just gotta jump. I truly don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything because I'm doing what I love," he said. | ||

US Olympians baaga earn chestaaru anukunevalla kosam....most of the live in poverty and have some of the lowest earnings compared to athletes from other countries http://qz.com/756213/the-true-financial-burden-of-becoming-a n-olympic-gold-medalist/ But most who do make it to Rio receive very little funding, and most donât make a lot of money off their sport outside of the Olympics, either. For example, two-time Olympic javelin thrower Cyrus Hostetler recently told The Washington Post that the most heâs ever earned in a year is $3,000. The average US Olympian simply does not live in the highest level of the financial stratosphere. According to the Track and Field Athletic Association, thereâs a âsteep pyramid of income opportunitiesâ for track and field athletes, with only a âselect fewâ able to earn a very good living. Fifty percent of track athletes who rank in the top 10 in the US in their event earn less than $15,000 annually from the sport. Unlike many other countries, the United States federal government doesnât fund Olympic programs, though some athletes get special funding from their national governing bodies. For example, USA Swimming reportedly provides approximately $3,000 to national team members of its top 16 ranked athletes. But other aspiring athletes are actually unemployed and need to be supported by their familiesâand some families have even gone bankrupt trying to support their sonâs or daughterâs Olympic dreams. Leading up to the 2012 Games in London, US News reported that gymnast Gabby Douglasâ mother had filed for bankruptcy, in part due to âthe high cost of her daughterâs training, which involved living away from home for two years.â |
