A literal quote from your first article “Paycheck depends on how I preform at a major championships once every 2-4 years. If I do not preform well in one moment I cannot financially support myself.”

Yes most athletes don’t do well, but most athletes also aren’t gold medalist with billion dollar corporations sponsoring them. She is fine.

Yes, it is possible to read one sentence from the four articles I listed and dishonestly maintain a false impression. If you’re more interested in arguing than being correct, I mean.

If you simply look up her net worth she is worth anywhere between 400k-5 million. Which is far higher than the median American net worth of 122k

You went to "celebritynetworth.com" or some similar completely bullshit site, believed it, and weren't at all alarmed that the estimate has an uncertainty of a factor of 12.5?

All in service of not having to learn something new... quite a commitment to preserving your ignorance.

I looked at multiple sites, and gave you the range I got. She got money, she even said after winning gold that money would no longer be an issue. It’s crazy to think that a gold medal athlete with multiple big sponsorship deals is anywhere near the average American.

So you took the average of dogshit information and think you got something other than dogshit?

I mean, at least you're consistent.

You have provided nothing to state she isn’t doing well other than some cherry picked articles that says average Olympic athlete’s are struggling. She isn’t average.

So in your world, a string of articles by credible news sources who interview people and cite data is less compelling than notoriously inaccurate websites that guess celebrity net worth?

You have to be breathing exhaust fumes and eating lead paint to think like this.

Feel free to google for yourself. See if you find a string of article describing Olympic athletes living the high life.
