The income of Japanese athletes varies greatly. The main factor causing the income gap is the commercialization and popularity of sports. The top earning sports for Japanese athletes should include baseball, sumo wrestling, and men’s football. , golf, and most other sports that don’t have commercial competitions, such as weightlifting, and no one watches it, which is much worse. Secondly, there are also huge differences within a project. The most important thing is of course the results. For example, Kitajima Kosuke accepted Coca-Cola. Toyota and many other sponsors also shoot commercials, but appearance is also related to income. Everyone knows about Fukuhara Ai, but other athletes are in a miserable state. For example, NHK showed a bronze medalist a few days ago. It was the original sponsor before the Olympics. He went bankrupt and wrote letters everywhere asking for financial support. To be honest, his training equipment was all rusty and not even comparable to a gym. As for the story of the diaosi’s counterattack against the goddess AKB48, you all know it, so I won’t say more. . However, no matter whether athletes earn more or less, they have little to do with the country and rely on themselves. I don’t know if this phenomenon is common in other countries. Some athletes in Japan are family-run, such as the well-known Kohei Uchimura, whose parents run a gymnastics club, and Hiromi Miyake, whose father is also a weightlifter and is her coach. I can’t say whether China is a production line, but once many athletes in China enter provincial team sports schools, their main life is training, cultural classes, etc., which are actually very wasteful, so once they retire, many athletes don’t know how to do anything else. The result is tragic.
