I looked at multiple sites, and gave you the range I got. She got money, she even said after winning gold that money would no longer be an issue. It’s crazy to think that a gold medal athlete with multiple big sponsorship deals is anywhere near the average American.

If you simply look up her net worth she is worth anywhere between 400k-5 million. Which is far higher than the median American net worth of 122k

A literal quote from your first article “Paycheck depends on how I preform at a major championships once every 2-4 years. If I do not preform well in one moment I cannot financially support myself.”
Yes most athletes don’t do well, but most athletes also aren’t gold medalist with billion dollar corporations sponsoring them. She is fine.

Most of them actually make a pretty decent living, with sponsors like Nike and Leidos she certainly isn’t hurting for money. Not to mention winning gold medal is a cool $37,000 payout.

You have provided nothing to state she isn’t doing well other than some cherry picked articles that says average Olympic athlete’s are struggling. She isn’t average.
