The Sport Report unofficially the best way to follow the
Parisian action.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hizba, Good morning all you crazed couch commentators. I'm the
voice inside your speaker Tanner, and welcome back to the
Sport Report for the day five weekap We had a
lot of Aussie action overnight. The Matilda's time has been
cut unfortunately short these games, with a controversial goal awarded
to the USA, even though there was an offside US player.

(00:24):
It was later determined that she did not interfere with
the play even though she was right in front of
the goal. The Matilda's ended up losing one to two
and were later knocked out when Canada won their match
against Columbia one nil, advancing Canada and pushing Australia out
of the running. Kyle Chalmers has claimed silver in the
men's one hundred meter freestyle and rumor has it that

Nige has made his retirement plans known, and it involves
a rather interesting method that capitalizes on perhaps a lesser

(03:45):
known fact about the medalists of the Games.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
This is a very special dish of glance to France.
It's a little segment I call What's in it for me?
Niger's look at Olympic rewards, because look, you may already
be across this. I wasn't early on in life that
most countries will reward their Olympic athletes with a cash

(04:11):
prize of some sort if they win a medal. It's
been going on for years. There was a period, as
we say, this was all kicked off by the chat
the other day about the golden Holdens. At the nineteen
ninety two Barcelona Olympics. There was a promo Holden did
and if you won a gold you got a gold
colored common or that sounds amazing, I know it, and

(04:32):
it was true. It really was but I thought i'd
have a look at in twenty twenty four. What's the sitch.
Are we still giving rewards to our athletes? And if so,
how much? And a follow up question, and how do
we stack up against the rest of the world. Let's
start with Australia first, to put things in perspective. If
you win a gold medal at the twenty twenty four
Olympics and you plan for Australia twenty grand, great, twenty

(04:54):
grand cash bang, They're presumably tax free.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
It's all yours.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sounds pretty good, right? What about the yank How much
more do they pay?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Not as much as you'd think.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
A gold for the US team is worth thirty seven
and a half grand. If you want to earn good money.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Here we go. Where are we moving to?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
You need to become a citizen of Hong Kong, yep, Chinese,
Taipei or Singapore. Right, those are the top three.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
What are they paying?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
In reverse order? Let's start with the cheapest of those three.
If you're from Hong Kong and you in gold, nine
hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars Australian. No, I've done
the adjustments. Nine hundred and sixty eight grand for a
gold medal. If you're paying for Hong Kong. What about
the Chinese Taipeai team. Yet, if they win a gold

(05:38):
they take home one point zero nine million Australian dollars.
But I have saved the best to last.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
My retirement plan, Kristin is to spend the next four
years ahead of la learning how to shoot okay. It's
the only Olympic sport I can think of. It doesn't
require a certain level of physical fitness.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
You'd actually be pretty good at it.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
If I became a trap shooter and one gold and
became a Singaporean citizen, I would come home with one
point one two million dollars cash. That is unbelievable, instant millionaire.

Speaker 2 (06:15):

Nights podcast via the link in the episode description, on
iHeart listener or wherever you get your podcasts. And that
wraps up the week cap of day five. Tune in
