Dmitry Dubrovsky, President of the Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined Federation, spoke about prize money for athletes at summer tournaments and admitted that partnerships with some European companies are still maintained.
– I cannot say that the sums are exorbitant. Since athletes must be motivated in the face of the suspension of international competitions. Yes, the price is 1,400,000 rubles, but remember that this is two sports – ski jumping and Nordic combined. And for men and women. In an individual victory, small sums are not obtained.
About attracting money. We have a partnership relationship with the Russian Olympic Committee. Part of the money comes from the federation’s own funds. I can’t say that we have a solid sponsor, as we have in previous years. These partnerships which were with certain European companies are preserved.
The one million four hundred prize fund is not that huge. About 800,000 of them will go to ski jumping in equal proportions for men and women, and 600,000 will go to Nordic combined, Dubrovsky told .
