[quote=Anonymous]Sponsors take care of all of their clothing and shoes. USOC takes care of equipment and such, sponsors do that too. Some food is taken care of. Lots of them have jobs that are flexible...they hardly put in any hours but get paid almost full time. The employers either want to just plain support and I think they like saying they have an olympian on staff. The home depot program was great for the athlete but they hardly worked. I worked for a particular team and those athletes that worked at home depot worked like ten hours a week...if that and got paid for like 30 hours. The community supports them too by putting them up on houseing sometimes for training. If you are at one of the USOC complexes in CO or CA there is full on housing and meals for those athletes..fully taken care of...but not all sports have facilities at those two locations. [/quote]
