4. hey those lower food chain athletes struggle

I remember Kurt Angle was a world champion wrestlers and he was training for the Atlanta Olympics while living with his parents and scraping by on about 600 a month in sponsorship cash. You get some swimmer who is tough, but not a big name, I bet they barely get by. A qualifier, their parents might have shitloads of cash.

3. that's only 8 more than I won this year

I don't think it's that impressive. :)
