Why It Matters: This incident underscores the financial challenges faced by many Olympic athletes. Despite the glamour and tradition associated with the Olympics, not all athletes receive adequate financial backing.
为什么这很重要：这一事件凸显了许多奥运会运动员面临的财务挑战。尽管奥运会与魅力和传统有关，但并不是所有的运动员都得到充分的财务支持。
According to NBC, traditionally Olympic athletes do not receive payment. However, team USA athletes can earn income through sponsorships, endorsements, and monetary awards for winning Olympic medals.
根据NBC的报道，传统上，奥运会运动员不会得到报酬。然而，美国代表团的运动员可以通过赞助、代言和赢得奥运奖牌的奖金来获得收入。
Singapore famously awards its gold-medal-winning athletes $737,000, whereas competitors from the U.S. can earn over $37,000 for each first-place finish, according to a 2021 report by CNBC.
据CNBC 2021年的一份报告，新加坡为其获得金牌的运动员颁发了73.7万美元，而来自美国的运动员则可以获得超过3.7万美元的一等奖金。
Moreover, U.S. Olympians traditionally benefit from perks like tax relief, tuition grants, education funding, top-tier healthcare plans, and other advantages.
此外，美国的奥林匹克运动员通常受益于免税、学费补助、教育拨款、高级医疗计划和其他优势。
Meanwhile, on Thursday, it was reported that professional basketball player, LeBron James, who is gearing up to lead Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics, has quietly built a $100 million real estate empire.
同时，在周四的报道中，职业篮球运动员勒布朗·詹姆斯（LeBron James）正在默默地建立一家价值1亿美元的房地产帝国，他将带领美国队参加2024年巴黎奥运会。
