It pays too much attention to shootings in commercials, to photoshoots and other pleasures of life. But after all she wants also results to achieve. It is time to place priorities. If she does not think of sports, we will well think before continuing to finance its preparation", - Hilyard promised.
Medal
invaluable and depreciated
Canadian of CBC published a material about, whether the Canadian athletes who have won medals at 2016 Summer Olympics will be able, to monetize the progress.
"A prize of the Olympic medal – invaluable achievement. But it is not necessary to confuse the concept "invaluable" and "the financially valuable". At us not such big prize-winning (20 000 dollars for gold, 15 000 – for silver and 10 000 – for bronze) therefore everything depends on ability to attract sponsors. And how to make it if you win a medal not in a heat on 100 meters or in running on the same distance? Besides, the vast majority of sponsor's investments come to the period of preparation for the Olympic Games, instead of after it... Generally, it is very difficult question which decision depends on a set of factors. Truth what not all medals will be financially equivalent", - writes the edition. Source:
