... a night's stay at the Olympics for a family member is close to $1,000 ...

I imagine that USFS quoted the same number to all of its Olympians?
$1000 a night for a family member?
I wonder where the USFS is getting their numbers from. For that price, Team USA + family better be staying at very special Airbnb, 10 feet away from the stadium.
Nah, it's just that hotels want to make a profit. A bunch of people coming to the Olympics + only small amount of hotel rooms for so many people = higher prices
You can easily pay $200-$300 a night at a major metro city for a hotel room and that's not accounting for anything major, like an Olympic event.

11K per week at the Olympics?
A good friend of mine is going. He's poor so I wonder how he's funding himself He told me he walked out of his job so he can go to Olympics. He told me he's gonna go there to see a bunch of athletes. I can't wait to ask him when he comes back how he paid for it, lol..

It's common for Olympians to skip the World's after the Olympics, especially if they won a medal, are mentally exhausted, and want to pursue post-Olympics sponsorship deals.
But to be fair, Mirai is not an Olympic medal contender. The large possibility of a deleted field at Worlds might cause her to train for post-Olympics competitions, and not race off to Dancing with the Stars.

I have a friend who regularly goes to summer games because he just loves to be in that atmosphere. Instead of a little trip here he just saves up over time for each one. For him, that is worth it. He just glows with happiness when sharing his pics and telling stories about his trips. I'll just have to live that through others, because I'm not that prudent of a saver
Based on what I've heard, the $10k per family member price tag doesn't surprise me in the least. Hope all the athletes reach their goals!
I wonder if the American pewter pattern will continue.I am sure but I think at the olympics 1984 fourth - Tiffany Chin?1988 4th Jill Trenary 1992 4th tonya harding 2002 4th Sasha Cohen? 2010 4th Mirai Nagasu 2014 4th Gracie Gold
