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.
爲什麼這很重要：這一事件凸顯了許多奧運會運動員面臨的財務挑戰。儘管奧運會與魅力和傳統有關，但並不是所有的運動員都得到充分的財務支持。
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.
根據NBC的報道，傳統上，奧運會運動員不會得到報酬。然而，美國代表團的運動員可以通過贊助、代言和贏得奧運獎牌的獎金來獲得收入。
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.
據CNBC 2021年的一份報告，新加坡爲其獲得金牌的運動員頒發了73.7萬美元，而來自美國的運動員則可以獲得超過3.7萬美元的一等獎金。
Moreover, U.S. Olympians traditionally benefit from perks like tax relief, tuition grants, education funding, top-tier healthcare plans, and other advantages.
此外，美國的奧林匹克運動員通常受益於免稅、學費補助、教育撥款、高級醫療計劃和其他優勢。
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.
同時，在週四的報道中，職業籃球運動員勒布朗·詹姆斯（LeBron James）正在默默地建立一家價值1億美元的房地產帝國，他將帶領美國隊參加2024年巴黎奧運會。
