Medalling of the Rich

The Olympics sports where money matters: swimming, table tennis, fencing, cycling, rowing and judo. According to this article, there are three reasons:

1. Infrastructure.

2. Talent magnetism.

3. Earned success.

I discovered this article while reading the background of Jackson Wang, and his fencing championship. Watch Wang's '100 Ways' mv below. Maybe the three reasons quoted above explained Wang's success. Enjoy the mv, which cleverly incorporated jujutsu elements in the choreography.
