Here are the premiums of Hungarian FINA stars

Both the Hungarian state and the international association pays bonuses to the contenders. Forbes.hu examined the premium of the Hungarian team.

Sport is a vital part of the economy, especially for the entertainment branch. The international association pays enormous fortunes for the contenders to ensure that they keep on popularizing water sports in their world championships. Prize contests provide a driving force to the branch of sports. Contenders may receive reasonable sums even if there is no current world or European championship or Olympics. Moreover, the more prestigious sports events are held, the bigger the profit of swimming is. This sport has gone through a long development from that sense.

Premium played a vital role in the events of FINA World Championships. It is mostly because sports celebrities often skip the world championship after the Olympics. It is not a surprise that FINA paid more for a world record than a gold medal. They were trying to motivate the best contenders to attend the championship in Budapest instead of resting.

FINA’s prizes also show which sports are the more popular, as those receive more premium who participate in sports that concern more people, as they produce more profit. One of the most interesting aspects of comparison is the difference between swimming and water polo.
