The US pays 25k for a gold, 15k for silver, 10k for bronze. What do other countries pay??
Here is an interesting article on how other governments reward their olympic athletes.
I have created Kicked It In the Sun in the hopes of creating a forum where we can all discuss sports, music, movies, and politics etc. A few times a week I will add links to any articles or videos etc for your enjoyment. Please email me with any links to anything you think others would appreciate as well. On the right hand side I have included links to websites I check on a daily basis.

I just did the math. The amount of money the Romanians make compared to the annual average income in their country is eqivalent to the US paying their athletes 14 million dollars.
I will not be posting anymore as I am moving to Romania to train for 2008. Ciao.
