Umsubathi wama-Olympian waziwa ngokwenza noma yini ukuze afinyelele umgomo wakhe, kodwa kunesithiyo esisodwa umgijimi ogijima kakhulu akuthola kunzima ukusinqoba: imali edingekayo ukuze aqhudelane esiteji somhlaba. Ngenkathi abasubathi bengakulo ngenxa yenkazimulo, kuthatha okuningi kunokuziqhenya ukukhokhela izindleko zokuqeqeshwa, ezokusebenza, ezokuhamba nezokuncintisana.

Isixazululo esisodwa wuhlelo olusha oluqalwe iKomidi Lama-Olympic lase-United States (USOC), oluvumela abasubathi ukuthi "babhalisele" izidingo ezithile umphakathi ongakhetha ukubathengela zona.

Ubhaliso lweTeam USA lunikeza abanikeli ithuba lokusiza abasubathi ngokukhokhela noma yini kusuka esigqokweni esisha sebhayisikili kuya emalini yabo yemithwalo yokufaka igilosa (okuthi, ngokwesilinganiso lawa makhosikazi nama-gents ashise amakhalori, sicabanga ukuthi ahlangana ngokushesha). Futhi lezo izinto nje ongazilindela. Ukuskena okusheshayo kuhlu lwezifiso zabasubathi kukhombisa izinto ezingabeka ihlazo emshadweni wokudala noma wengane. Ngama- $ 250, ungathenga kuphela izibambo zehhashi le-pommel leqembu lase-U.S. Uma uzizwa uchithe imali encane, u- $ 15 uzothenga isivikelo somlomo somdlali webhola lombhoxo bese u- $ 50 akhokhele inja yokuxhasa ukusiza iParalympian. Futhi ngo-$1,000, ungathenga umgijimi isethi (ebiza ngempela) imikhono yokuminyanisa. (Kuzwakala njengenye yezinto zethu eziyi-8 ze-Workout Gear kuyabiza kakhulu ukuthola ukungcola.)

Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi ukuba yi-Olympian kusho ukuceba-futhi lokho kungase kube iqiniso kubasubathi abathola uxhaso ngemva kokuwina igolide. Kepha iningi labasubathi bama-Olimpiki lilwela kanzima ukufeza iphupho labo. Ukuhlaziywa kweForbes kutholakale ukuthi izindleko ezijwayelekile ngethemba ngalinye okungenani $ 40,000 ngonyaka-ithebhu evame ukuthathwa ngumndeni wabo. Abazali ababhukuda kakhulu uMichael Phelps bathe bakhokha cishe u- $ 100,000 ngonyaka ngenani lomsebenzi elingaphezu kwesigidi esisodwa samadola ukumgcina echibini. Ngakho-ke akumangalisi ukuthi imindeni eminingi, njengaleyo yombhukudi uRyan Lochte kanye nomqeqeshi womzimba u-Gabby Douglas, kuye kwadingeka ukuthi imemezele ukuthi isishonile, idela konke enakho ukuze isekele ikusasa labo le-Olympian. (Yini Eyenza Umsubathi Wama-Olimpiki Abe Mkhulu?)

Uma kukhulunywa ngokuthola imali ngokwabo, abangahle babe ngama-Olimpiki basesimweni esinzima.Amadili okukhangisa noxhaso kuhle, kodwa abasubathi baboshwe ibhuqu lemithetho edidayo mayelana nokuthi ingakanani imali abangayithatha kubaxhasi bezinkampani kanye nendlela esetshenziswa ngayo—isimo esinzima nakakhulu kubasubathi abangaziwa noma abadlalayo. ezemidlalo ezingadumile. Futhi akufani nokuthi bangakwazi ukuthatha umsebenzi wosuku, futhi. Phakathi kwamahora ejimini nezikhathi zokululama ezidingeka kakhulu, ukuqeqeshwa kwama-Olimpiki nakho kungumsebenzi wesikhathi esigcwele. Phakathi koxhaso nemisebenzi, abanethemba elijwayelekile lama-Olimpiki bathola u- $ 20,000 nje ngonyaka okungenani isigamu semali ephansi yeForbes ebabika ukuthi bayayidinga.

"Ama-Olympics akusiyo into oyenzela ukuceba. Ukwenzela ukuthi ukwazi ukumela izwe lakho lenza emdlalweni owuthandayo," uShannon Miller, oyilungu leqembu lase-US elawina indondo yegolide elawina indondo yegolide e-US etshela i-ABCNews.com. .

Yize kunjalo imali kumele ivele kwenye indawo. I-USOC inenani elilinganiselwe lemali engayisebenzisa ukusiza abasubathi abasebasha, kepha njengenye yekomidi likazwelonke lama-Olimpiki elingaxhaswa uhulumeni, imali yoma isikhathi eside ngaphambi kwesidingo sayo. Ngakho-ke manje i-USOC iphendukela emphakathini ukusiza ukusekela ama-Olympians namaParalympians esithanda ukuwabuka kakhulu. Ukusiza kulula njengokuya Ekubhalisisweni Kwethimba lase-USA nokwenza umnikelo-ungaze ukhethe ukuthi iyiphi into ongathanda ukuyinikela kuliphi iqembu. Futhi njengoba i-Rio 2016 isiseduze, isikhathi sokusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi intandokazi yakho ithola ithuba egolideni manje. Futhi mhlawumbe lapho bewina, begqoke isistimu yemikhono yokuminyanisa okusize ukuyikhokhela, uzozizwa kancane sengathi uwinile nawe!
