The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will give money to all Olympic athletes. In the past, the IOC did not pay athletes.

國際奧林匹克委員會 (IOC) 將向所有奧運運動員提供資金。過去，IOC 並未向運動員支付款項。

The IOC will give $10,000 to each athlete. President Kirsty Coventry said this money is for their hard work. It is not a prize for winning. This plan helps 14,000 athletes in the Winter and Summer Games.

IOC 將向每位運動員提供 10,000 美元。主席 Kirsty Coventry 表示，這筆款項是對他們辛勤努力的肯定，而非獲勝的獎金。此計畫將幫助冬奧與夏奧的 14,000 名運動員。

Some athlete groups are happy, but they want more money. They say $10,000 is too small. The IOC has a lot of money, but they only give a small part to the athletes.

部分運動員團體對此表示歡迎，但希望能獲得更多資金。他們認為 10,000 美元太少。IOC 擁有大量資金，但僅將其中一小部分提供給運動員。

Paralympic athletes do not get this money. The Paralympic Committee does not have enough money to pay them. Some other sports groups already pay their winners more money.

殘奧運動員無法獲得此款項。殘奧委員會沒有足夠的資金來支付。其他一些體育組織已經向其獲勝者支付了更多獎金。

The IOC now pays athletes. However, many athletes still want more money.

IOC 現在會向運動員支付款項。然而，許多運動員仍然希望獲得更多資金。

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has launched a new financial grant for all Olympic athletes. This marks a major change in the organization's long-term policy of not paying athletes directly.

國際奧委會 (IOC) 已為所有奧運運動員推出一項新的財政資助。這標誌著該組織長期以來不直接向運動員支付款項的政策發生了重大變革。

The 'Fit for the Future Olympian Grant' gives $10,000 USD to each athlete, managed through their National Olympic Committees. IOC President Kirsty Coventry announced that approximately $140 million will be spent every four years to support around 14,000 athletes. This includes participants in the Milano-Cortina Winter Games and the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games. The IOC emphasized that these payments are a way to recognize the hard work of athletes rather than traditional prize money, although the decision follows pressure from athlete groups.

「為未來準備的奧運選手資助金」(Fit for the Future Olympian Grant) 將向每位運動員提供 10,000 美元，由其國家奧委會管理。國際奧委會主席 Kirsty Coventry 宣布，每四年將撥款約 1.4 億美元以支持約 14,000 名運動員。這包括參與米蘭-科爾蒂納冬季運動會及 2028 年洛杉磯夏季運動會的選手。國際奧委會強調，這些款項是用於認可運動員的辛勤付出，而非傳統的獎金，儘管該決定是在運動員團體的壓力下做出的。

However, reactions from stakeholders are mixed. Groups such as Global Athlete and Athletes Germany described the move as a positive step, but they argued that the amount is too low. They pointed out that the grant represents less than 2% of the IOC's total revenue. In Australia, athletes noted that while the grant is a helpful start, the daily value is still quite small. This is especially true since the Australian Olympic Committee already provides other funding, such as the $50 million Olympian Futures Fund.

然而，利害關係人的反應不一。如 Global Athlete 和 Athletes Germany 等團體將此舉描述為積極的一步，但他們認為金額過低。他們指出，該資助金不足國際奧委會總收入的 2%。在澳洲，運動員指出雖然資助是一個有幫助的開始，但每日的價值仍然相當低。尤其是因為澳洲奧委會已經提供其他資金，例如 5,000 萬美元的奧運未來基金 (Olympian Futures Fund)。

Furthermore, this financial support is only for Olympic athletes. The International Paralympic Committee stated that the Paralympics cannot offer similar grants due to different financial situations. Meanwhile, some independent organizations, like World Athletics, have already started their own prize systems, such as the $50,000 USD given to gold medalists at the Paris Olympics.

此外，此項財政支持僅限於奧運運動員。國際帕拉林匹克委員會表示，由於財務狀況不同，殘奧會無法提供類似的資助。與此同時，一些獨立組織（如世界田聯）已開始實施自己的獎金制度，例如在巴黎奧運會向金牌得主提供 50,000 美元。

The IOC has created a starting point for athlete payments, but there is still a gap between the grant's value and what athlete representatives believe is necessary.

國際奧委會為運動員支付款項創造了一個起點，但資助金額與運動員代表認為必要的金額之間仍存在差距。

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has introduced a financial grant for all participating Olympic athletes, marking a shift in the organization's long-standing policy against direct athlete compensation.

國際奧委會 (IOC) 為所有參賽奧運運動員推出了一項財務資助，標誌著該組織長期以來反對直接補償運動員的政策發生了轉變。

The 'Fit for the Future Olympian Grant' provides a sum of $10,000 USD per athlete, administered through National Olympic Committees. This initiative, announced by IOC President Kirsty Coventry in Lausanne, allocates approximately $140 million per four-year Olympiad to support an estimated 14,000 athletes. Eligibility extends to participants of the Milano-Cortina Winter Games and the forthcoming Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games. While the IOC characterizes these payments as recognition of the commitment required to achieve Olympic status rather than prize money, the move follows significant pressure from athlete advocacy groups.

「為未來準備之奧運運動員資助計劃」為每位運動員提供 10,000 美元，由國家奧委會負責發放。這項計劃由國際奧委會主席 Kirsty Coventry 在洛桑宣布，每個四年奧運週期約撥款 1.4 億美元，用以支持約 14,000 名運動員。資助對象涵蓋米蘭-科爾蒂納冬奧會以及即將到來的 2028 洛杉磯夏季奧運會參賽者。雖然國際奧委會將這些款項定性為對達到奧運水準所需承諾的認可而非獎金，但此舉是在運動員權益團體施壓後採取的。

Stakeholder responses indicate a dichotomy between institutional acknowledgment and financial sufficiency. The Global Athlete group and Athletes Germany have characterized the decision as a positive development, yet they maintain that the allocation—representing less than 2% of the IOC's total revenue per cycle—is inadequate. Specifically, Global Athlete had previously advocated for a $25,000 disbursement. Within the Australian context, athletes have noted that while the grant is a constructive progression, its daily value over a quadrennium remains marginal. This is particularly evident given that the Australian Olympic Committee and the Australian Sports Commission already maintain various funding mechanisms, including the $50 million Olympian Futures Fund and performance-based incentives.

利益相關者的反應顯示，機構的認可與財務充足程度之間存在分歧。「全球運動員」(Global Athlete) 團體與德國運動員協會將此決定視為正面發展，但他們堅持認為撥款金額——僅佔國際奧委會每個週期總收入不足 2%——是不夠的。具體而言，「全球運動員」此前曾主張發放 25,000 美元。在澳洲方面，運動員指出雖然資助是建設性的進步，但在四年的週期中，其日均價值依然微小。考慮到澳洲奧委會與澳洲體育委員會已維持多項資助機制（包括 5,000 萬美元的「奧運運動員未來基金」以及基於表現的激勵措施），這一點尤為明顯。

Furthermore, the scope of this financial rapprochement is limited to Olympic participants. The International Paralympic Committee has stated that the current financial framework of the Paralympics precludes the implementation of similar grants. Conversely, some independent sporting bodies, such as World Athletics, have already initiated their own prize money structures, as evidenced by the $50,000 USD awarded to gold medalists at the Paris Olympics.

此外，此次財務和解的範圍僅限於奧運參賽者。國際 Paralympic 委員會表示，殘奧會目前的財務框架無法實施類似的資助。相反，一些獨立體育組織（例如世界田徑總會）已經啟動了自身的獎金結構，如巴黎奧運金牌得主獲頒 50,000 美元即可證明。

The IOC has established a baseline for athlete compensation, though disparities remain between the grant's value and the demands of athlete representative bodies.

國際奧委會已為運動員補償建立了基準，儘管資助金額與運動員代表團體的訴求之間仍存在差距。
