Prize Money At Olympic Games Thrown Into The Spotlight | GTN Show Ep.460

This week on the GTN Show, we dive into the highly contentious debate around Olympic prize money and whether the IOC should financially compensate athletes for their performances. We also recap an action-packed WTCS Cagliari, breaking down the bike crashes, the spectacular sprint finishes, and the massive water bottle drama in the women's race. Plus, we check in on the Norwegians' altitude training blocks, celebrate a monumental 1,000th Parkrun, and preview this weekend's stacked T100 San Francisco and Ironman Hamburg start lists!
