A golfer isn’t going to make any extra money or gain more recognition for winning the Olympic Gold. Can anyone name who has won the Tennis gold over the past few Olympics? This is the big enchilada for Swimmers, gymnasts divers, track stars etc. Nobody remembers siwmming world champions.
Mark Spitz, Michael Phelps, Janet Evans, Matt Biondi.....Johnny Weismuller.......
All true amateurs as compared to the NBA all stars and the PGA players..........
