Put your panties back on and go back to RW where you belong
I know how many walkers buy running shoes and I know that they care 0% about elite runners.
Does your store have plated racing flats? Which ones? Why?
If so, are you sure the elite runners that run in those shoes have 0% effect on why they are in your store? Did those runners help the product developers make those shoes better? Jarred Ward has certainly played a role in testing Saucony’s shoes. It’s well documented.
And if not your store. What about the 600 other stores?
it really doesn’t take much to pay for Jarred Ward’s contract. If Jarred pushed the needle for 20 or so stores around the world to carry a size run of his shoes and then fill in as they sell. It goes a long way to pay for his work. And Jarred gets paid quite a bit more than most pros.

I guess you have no idea how much advertising costs.
Advertising costs more dependent on who is watching
Track meets are in vacant stadiums
Good time to re-up this thread. I saw Merber with a short article on Citius that 68% of athletes going to USA's are not sponsored. He made the same point I made when I started this thread that sponsoring an athlete is not charity! It's about selling products and making money.
Again, I find it astonishing when I see people complaining that so and so is not sponsored yet..."how dare they not sponsor this person".
I love this sport and wish everyone could make millions. However, you don't get sponsored just for being good in a sport. You get sponsored for being good and creating brand awareness by the millions of people that follow you. Track and Field is not football. If you want to be sponsored, you need to create popularity around yourself! Hell, I run a 4:30 mile at my old age...and if I could get a Youtube channel going with thousands of followers on my old man running abilities/training tactics, these shoes companies would have more intrigue in sponsoring me vs. most of the professionals.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
