now he has to make the most money out of his wonder-success in Tokyo, which means he literally won't even train for the next 6 months at least...

 

he'll be appearing in any tv & radio show day after day and every night he'll be the guest star in every disco-party in all the most famous discos in Italy...

 

that's how you make money in Italy if you're not a footballer of a F1/MotoGP driver or a Tennis/Golf player...

 

no way you can get I'm not even daring to say rich, but just wealthy if you practice any other individual sport than those named above...

 

Too bad organizers of big Diamond League meets and such would never pay a good amount of money for an unknown athlete like the Olympic 100m champion.... :p

trust me, there's no comparison between 4/5 meets fees and what he's gonna make with all the tv/radio/party appearances...

 

if he goes to "dancing with the stars", for instance, he's gonna spend about 10/12 weeks full time training and playing that show...and he's gonna get at least 200/300 k €/episode...

 

and I'm only talking of one show (even if the top show on the main Italian TV channel)...

p.s. even the great Bolt himself, how many DL meets used to race in a year? 

 

Not that many...

 

he had to do a lot of non athletics-related things to make all the money he made...and he was already the icon and the most recognizable figure of world athletics even before starting collecting gold medals here and there...

Jacobs break is not due to injury according to his coach. 

whatever are the true reasons, envy is really a bad feeling...

You can also compete ad Grande Fratello during some international events. Right Basile? :evil:

Yep, which is why I wasn't a (big) fan of him neither. The best or at least most enjoyable champions show up outside of only the one or two big events as well.

 

Which is entirely their own choice, obviously.

Out of nowhere Anna Kielbasinska becomes the 2nd fastest woman at 400m in Polish history. She run 50,38 in La Chaux-de-Fonds today :yikes:

 

That's 0,03 faster than Swiety-Ersetic's PB. Only Irena Szewinska's old WR 49,28 is better.

:SRB Adriana Vilagos threw 70.10 in the javelin (500 gr) at the Balkan under 18 championships. It's the best throw ever for the under 18 category and the first ever over 70m.

    • Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025      Thank you Slovenia! Argentina get their second 12 points of this year's contest to keep their hopes of a podium finish very much alive.   Big points also for Italy who become the 3rd nation to breach the 100-point barrier and they close the gap to France in 2nd.   That concludes the third session of this year's TISC Annual. Ireland maintain the lead as they have from the very start of the contest. Their lead now stands at 28 points which is sizeable though not insurmountable with 8 juries still to vote, including Ireland.   We will take a 1 hour 30 minute break now and will resume the fourth and final session at 19:00 GMT.      Juries Voted: 26/34    1  Ireland 2 136  18  Guatemala   53  2  France 4 108  19  Netherlands   51  3  Italy 11 102  20  Tunisia   50  4  Argentina 12 96  21  Denmark   49  5  Romania   85  22  Poland   48  6  Albania 9 85  23  Sweden 1 46  7  Spain   84  24  Lithuania 3 45  8  Germany 7 84  25  Malta 5 43  9  Canada   74  26  Turkey 10 43  10  Mexico   73  27  Greece   37  11  Serbia   66  28  Slovenia   36  12  Kazakhstan 8 65  29  China   34  13  Portugal   65  30  Bulgaria   32  14  Great Britain 6 63  31  Indonesia   30  15  United States   62  32  Slovakia   28  16  Ukraine   57  33  Brazil   28  17  Israel   55  34  India   15
