    I hope Forbes sees this as I am saying this for the Philippines.
    For Paris Gold medalist, 13 million pesos or more than US$200,000 coming from the government as mandated by law for the Php10M and the Php3M from house of the representatives. He will also get a home unit from a prestigious real estate company valued at US$400,000. Another private firm will give close to US$100,000. In addition, Lifetime freebies from various restaurants have announced their gifts.
    This is just the initial incentives and gifts. When a medalist wins, more will be given. All of which are not endorsement deals, pure gifts from Filipinos to Philippines winning athletes.
    During the Tokyo Olympics, the sole gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz received close to Php50M or more than US$900,000.

    If a country rarely has any medalist winners in the past, winning is a huge deal. Sponsors will pay lots of money.
    During training, they may earn so little.

    Sports of any kind overwhelmingly favours a select few rhat win over the majority. Its a power law distribution of wealth with the winning athletes able to garner money and influence waaaay beyond the participants. This is why i respect the swiss and UK stance of supporting all their athletes throughout their practice.
    Countries think that holding the stakes high (apartment, pensions) will get better performance as well as inspiration for the next gen. But what it does is puts all resources at one person's (or team's) feet. They continue to win more but the pipeline of strong contenders is awful. This can not only damage up and coming athletes within a sport but also across sports.
    Winning cricket world cups will net cricketers in india a lot of money from both central & state governments, ad deals and brand freebies. But given how much is spent on that one sport which is already overflowing with money, other sports suffer. They suffer from poor coverage, funding, interest and rewards. Which is why despite being a country of a billion people, india won 6 medals in total - none of them gold.😢
