It's the same issue for Greece, every year we lose a handful of young, talented rowers because as you said there is no way to earn enough. Stefanos Ntouskos was going to retire after Tokyo if he didn't win a medal, the gold medal changed his life financially... phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because they have to train so much, that they don't have time for anything else, whereas with Greek athletes in other sports, often they have some part-time jobs etc. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
