This has caused SO MUCH stress and feelings of unfairness It's been changed a bit for the upcoming season, but for example last season athletes had a list of criteria and every one of them resulted in part of the season being paid. Problem is, the whole thing that had to be paid was supposed to be awesome, but sadly just was not...at all (basic things like food were not even there, half the time the athletes didn't even have the option to have breakfast and/or lunch), there was no option at all to have a decent sort of rest since the freestyle skiing team stayed in the same place and was NOISY until way after midnight (when athletes want to actually rest) and so on. Just very basic things that were impossible there...try and improve in that kind of situation.
About Chile: I have a feeling they'll improve their online presence within a few years, they're getting a much better national federation president (smart and relatively young guy)
