This doesn't make sense as
1) it entirely depends on the prize and the financing infrastructure around it
2) athletes can participate in other competitions besides the Olympics
- sofixa 2y ago> athletes can participate in other competitions besides the Olympics They can, but almost none of them are even remotely as popular as the Olympics. The only exceptions are in massive sports (football, in the US american football, hockey, basketball; in countries like India cricket; tennis, F1). For every other sport, the Olympics are the pinnacle and nothing is even remotely comparable.
- insane_dreamer 2y ago1) athletes don't make much prize money from the Olympics; what it can lead to is advertising ops and endorsements -- and that's where money comes in. 2) yeah, but who watches those? and if there's nobody watching then there's not much money in it
