Several possibilities:

# They are funded by their parents # they are rich and don't need funding # they have another source of income, perhaps from a full-time or part-time job # they have very little need for funding in their particular sport, and they make use of publically funded facilities # they are high performers and their government, or charities, or national lottery organisations provide significant 'funded' assistance in the form of coaching and facilities etc. # Grants and sponsorships are sometimes made available, but there are strict rules which regulate whether or not any particular source of funding changes the status of the athlete from amateur to professional.

What is the different between amateur and professional sports?

A amateur has less experience and is not as good as a pro While this is a good description of the meaning of the words "amateur" and "professional," but in sports it's often a matter of whether or not the player is getting paid for participating in the sport. It used to be that professional sports players could not play in the Olympics, only amateurs. College basketball players would be amateurs, NBA and WNBA players are professionals. It was felt that some countries' amateurs (primarily capitalist countries) were at a disadvantage to players whose countries (primarily communist countries) supported amateurs. In 1986 this changed, some sports allow professionals. It's up to the International Olympic Committee. see the forum for the pbs newshour for the july96/olympics_7-23.html
