their "sponsors"... aka wealthy people who brag about their "sponsorees"
Their sponsors!

Olympic sports contenders are not paid for the competition. Until the 1970s, Olympic athletes had to be amateur, not paid athletes. However, some countries' athletes practiced full time; others were very limited as to who could sponsor their living and coaching expenses.
This depends on what, if any, bonus the athlete's national Olympic committee pays out. For the USA, the USOC pays athletes $25,000 per gold medal, $15,000 per silver and $10,000 per bronze.
Olympians' expenses are typically covered through a combination of sources, including their national Olympic committees, sponsorship deals, and personal funds. National Olympic committees often provide financial support for training, travel, and competition costs. Additionally, many athletes secure sponsorships from brands that help cover expenses in exchange for promotion. However, the extent of financial support can vary significantly based on the athlete's sport, country, and level of success.
The Olympics are not paid. The Olympic committee pays travel expenses.
