Was anyone surprised by the Jefferson's contract from Nike? $18,000-$25,000 a year plus room & board and insurance.
I'm not ragging on them because it is sweet that they get to continue training, and they have great talent. But, just relative to other track and field athletes it surprised me. For instance, my buddy was 6th this year in the U.S. champs, and he's still real young has to work full time, and doesn't get anything (which is shitty).
Anyway, I hope they do well it will be a good oportunity.
I totally i agree with you, am a resident of this country but because an not an american, i couldnt get even a penny beside the gear for a 1.45 800m, i think its absurd
