"I get just enough to cover my rent a month. It's not enough to be a career and this is a full-time job." - Daniella Ramirez, discussing the financial struggles faced by Olympic athletes.
"On social media, I can make more than 5x as much as what I make as an Olympic athlete each month," Ramirez explained, highlighting the disparity in income between sports and social media.
"You can do things on your own time, on your own schedule, make ends meet, and get to do your sport full-time," she said, emphasizing the flexibility that social media provides.
Most Olympians don't make money from their sport. While some mainstream athletes profit significantly, many, like Ramirez, find financial success elsewhere.
