[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eileen Gu only got 7 million over 3 years.  The 14 million figure was for Eileen and another US talent (I forget the second skier's name) to represent China.

Oh, BTW - the payment is structured in form of endorsements.

Oh, and Eileen Gu made 23 million last year with Chinese company endorsements.   [size=18] :mrgreen:  [/size][/quote]

The other athlete was Zhu Yi, an American-born figure skater with Chinese heritage. I almost wonder if China sponsored Zhu Yi in hopes that she could beat Alysa Liu, whose father is basically an enemy of the state in China. [/quote]

Who the fux cares? I am glad young women athletes are raking in the money. Good for them.  No reason for them to not get rich.  These huge amounts of money will get more eyeballs on the game.

I am supremely proud of the fact that I am seeing so many Asian athletes in these games and actually succeeding.  This is what strategy, hard work and resources are producing.
