“The entire funding model for Olympic sport is broken. The IOC generates now over US$1.7 billion per year and they refuse to pay athletes who attend the Olympics,”

The model for high level sports is entirely extractive, the IOC gets billions and the athletes risk serious injury for nothing.

Just FYI, I'm not saying the IOC deserves the money either. They don't. None of it should be for-profit.
