“Paying prize money from federal or regional budgets will not be the right decision” – Stepanova

russian skier Veronika Stepanova in her column on , she objected to prize money being given to athletes from the public treasury.

– I am sure that paying prize money from federal or regional budgets will not be the right decision from any point of view. Public funds should go to children’s sports, support coaches, maintain local ski slopes in good condition (for example, buy retracks; yes, those made in Belarus are perfect).

Of course, it’s great that the state finances the best athletes through the Center d’Encade Sportif, thus making us a kind of state employees – it gives confidence. These payments – as a rule, they are called “allowances” – are available for collections from Norway, Sweden, etc. It’s just different models. For example, proceeds from the national lottery go to the National Olympic Committee, which pays the athletes,” Stepanova wrote.
