british athletics has received a huge funding cut which means that athletes will get less financial support from the national governing body a year ago this would have made me panic and i know many other athletes will be panicking too since building onchain / on farcaster i have made a little over what i earn in a YEAR of national olympic funding in 4 months whilst being able to train full-time🤯 this is a real life usecase!! in 2025 i am determined to bring more athletes onchain 🫡

I was listening to a podcast the other day about the Olympics and how athletes get screwed financially even though NBC and all the other media outlets get millions and millions of dollars.

oh yeah, that’s true! many athletes are really struggling to make ends meet even medalists😭 one of my friends spent literally his last penny to make paris, won two medals, didnt make any money and then lost his sponsor too😭😭

That’s really frustrating. I think too about the injuries Olympic athletes sustain and how there is no financial support
