Any Tax Player money use for U.S. Olympic team?

Question

Is it fully private funded and sponsor? You know in china, if you get a gold medal, you get like 70,000 from the goverment, i wonder if u.s. government in anyway pay the Olympic team?

Answer 1

no, the team is 100 % privately funded

Answer 2

No, the USOC is totally private, so they dont get any taxpayer money. In fact, the 1996 Georgia Olympics was funded totally from private funding e.g. endorsements. Now give me a top answer please

Answer 3

no it isn't that way in the US. everything is privately funded and sponsored by big companies. Nike is a huge supporter of the olympics.  Commercials on the television really fund a huge amount of the cost. China's government is hugely different that ours, they supposedly also smudged birth records of some of their athletes to get around the no one under 16 rule but nothing can be proven really. and do you really think the chinese government is gonna give those 16 year old girls who were part of the gymnastics team that kind of money?

Answer 4

Probably not, as most of the US atheletes are rigged with cash from sponsors and ads even before they win that no check from the government is big enough for winning medals.

For the Chinese, this is the main way to get paid and get back all the money that they've invested in training since youth.
