Emily 15,000 Mitch 2,000. Girls have clearly won the fight to pay the mortgage .
people fight about whos allowed to pay? seems very realistic… i guess
Truth be told, when they return home it is not unlikely that Mr Larkin may be swapping accomodation with the hound given his Budapest performances and expressed attitude.
Suffragette City is real , man .
Refreshing to see an example of women and men being paid fairly and equally (in proportion to their achievements) in sport.
*huge facepalm*
no seriously, educate yourself on that topic
SWammer is right on this ….
Yes, that’s is how it works in swimming, but it is because the championships are for both male and female competitors.
Almost every other sport does not have their competitions with both male and female athletes, so they separate the money. I would imagine if there was a male swimming World Cup and a female swimming World Cup, the men would get more money. I’m not sexist at all, but that is just the reality of professional sports. Men bring in more money in almost every circumstance
Men bring in more attention, especially from non-swimming fans. More attention and viewers equals more money. For casual observers many of the men’s sports are more exciting because what they are able to accomplish. Of course there are certain sports like soccer that are comparable and still have a pay gap, which isn’t fair. And the female accomplishments in these sports are still incredible but to the average viewer it is more exciting to watch a 45-46 second SCM 100 free for men over an incredible WR in the women’s 100.
To casual fans across any sport I’m sure they are able to name more male athletes than female athletes simply because the male athletes gather more attention, whether… Read more »
Age is catching up to Hosszu. She peaked 2015-16 unfortunately.
and ?
She’s making less money because she’s swimming less events, which is FINA’s fault not her’s. She actually broke a WR recently.
Where does FINA get all this money?
Sponsor and TV deal for World Championship (plus a little for the subscription to Fina TV).
Btw it’s not so much, a little more than 700k for an organization which make 170M annually….
