I like it that all teams - not just the medallists - get handsomely paid. From the ISU site:AFAIK, it’s still a good payday for the skaters, which is always nice. And it’s a good payday ( less, but good) even if you don’t medal, which is even nicer. All skaters work so hard.
God bless Japanese sponsors
