This. I saw teen Olympians. They are at Princeton, Stanford. Right. Rich people who have time to train and money to hire coaches.

And China looks pitiful getting its athletes from elsewhere. I thought they were supposed to be powerful. They are borrowing athletes from Canada and the US. I guess they don’t think the west is evil when they benefit from it. [/quote]

I'm guessing the athletes get generous scholarships to go to these type tiered schools given they're hard core and arguably the best of the best in that sport.[/quote]

Stanford gives athletic scholarships, but the Ivy League does not. Chloe Kim, Nathan Chen, and Vincent Zhou are not getting scholarships.[/quote]

Even Stanford only gives athletic scholarships in D1 sports, which does not include figure skating or Big Air freestyle skiing.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure Gu can easily do full pay at Stanford. This is the girl who went to the $50k/year private school, and the family has got richer since then, not poorer.  [/quote]

The mom works at a venture capital company  specializing in Chinese companies. Even without her daughter’s fame the mom could easily afford it. Finance salary in sf with one kid. [/quote]
