In fact, many wind up working other jobs in order to afford all the costs of being such a high-level athlete, such as training and nutrition.However, thanks to a $100-million donation from philanthropist Ross Stevens, there won't be nearly as much financial stress for American athletes.Going forward, U.S. representatives at both the Olympics and Paralympics will receive at least $200,000 in post-retirement benefits."The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the ultimate symbol of human excellence. I do not believe that financial insecurity should stop our nation's elite athletes from breaking through to new frontiers of excellence," said Stevens."Team USA athletes, extraordinary individuals, have proven they can achieve greatness and...
