Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronique Stepanova In her column on , she wrote that few athletes can now support themselves solely through their sporting achievements and therefore have to look for options to earn additional income for their own account.
The Russian Athletics Championships took place from August 15 to 18 in Yekaterinburg.
— At the Russian Athletics Championships, I discovered a new name for myself. A young athlete, already performing at the world level, her appearance is absolutely that of a model. Then somewhere I read part of an interview with her, in which she talks about her income. No, she is not complaining, she is strong, but she looks sad: she is barely enough.
This should not be enough! Today we have a perfectly adequate system: only a few, the best, can live solely on their sporting successes. Everyone is paid like that – barely enough. This is exactly how it works all over the world. If you want more, become the best or look for ways to make money with your name. You are already in an advantageous position: producers pay for the promotion of singers and TikTokers, on credit. And you won: you received five minutes of fame and an interview throughout the country. Well, don’t say platitudes – take your chance and make sure the country remembers you! — wrote Stepanova.
