The Most Crazy Gifts Given To Olympic Medalists by Chuky7(m): 5:20pm On Aug 15, 2021 |
Some athletes receive more than just a medal when they win at the Olympics. Government-run schemes and private sponsors have offered luxurious items to athletes who win. From fast cars to unlimited beer, these are some of the more outrageous rewards. Indonesia is giving the badminton women's double's team a cash prize and free meatballs for life. One of the athletes is also receiving five cows and a house from the district head of her hometown. Other medalists from Hong Kong have also won free train rides around the city for life, public transport officials said. In 2008, a local sponsor offered Belarusian Olympic gold medal winners free sausage for life. At the Rio Olympics in 2016, German medalists got a lifetime supply of beer from the government. In the same year, the Russian government gifted luxury cars, apartments, and even a racehorse to each Olympic medalist. The South Korean government has said that anyone who wins a medal for the country at the Olympics can forego their mandatory military service. All Malaysian gold medalists receive roughly $1,200 in monthly salaries for life.(Men this one go well O) Hong Kong's Olympic fencing champion, Edgar Cheung Ka-long, will receive free furniture and home decor for his future home, a furniture retailer announced last week. Philippine weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, who made history with the country's first gold at the Tokyo Olympics, will be receiving a luxury apartment, a holiday home, a new van, free petrol, and free commercial flights for life. https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/news/from-luxury-homes-to-a-lifetime-supply-of-sausage-these-are-the-most-crazy-gifts-ever-given-to-olympic-medalists/slidelist/85147858.cms 1 Like |
