Former Springboks icon BryanHabana has set up a GoFundMe to help raise money for TRSchoenmaker and biancabuitendag after Sascoc said they wouldn't be any bonuses for their Tokyo2020 medals. By shockerhess | IOLsport
Hendriks claimed that the organisation didn’t want incentives to be a distraction for the athletes as they prepared for the Games. That is a very weird reason given that for the past three Summer Olympics, incentives were announced a month before the Games, and it certainly wasn’t a distraction for the Rowing quartet in London, nor Cameron van der Burgh or Chad le Clos that year or the other 10 medallists that brought home a record haul in Rio de Janeiro five years ago.
At the London Olympics there was a significant increase; gold medallists, took home R400 000 with their coaches pocketing R100 000, silver and bronze medals earned R200 000 and R80 000 respectively, with the coaches receiving R50 000 and R20 000, while the Paralympic athletes received R100 000 for gold, R75 000 for silver, and R40 000 for bronze. The coaches picked up R20 000, R15 000 and R10 000 respectively.
This year, Sascoc didn’t announce any incentive scheme. Tatiana Schoenmaker produced a series of magnificent performances; setting two Olympic records, a world record and claiming a gold and silver medal. Had she been an American, Schoenmaker would have pocketed over R88000 for those performances - not including any bonuses she may have received for her records.
