Did I hear correctly OTP cost "us" $120m? Something like $4 per Canadian? This seems like such a tiny number to me to fund a fairly large number of athletes. I'd be curious how much Shaun White's Red Bull half pipe cost to make and how much funding he alone would have received. I bet it's something close to 10% of the entire OTP budget. I'm sure he's the big exception but it's still hard to compete with things like that. Or Korean athletes who get a salary for life winning a gold, that's pretty intense motivation.
