Puma is aggressively courting athletes and attempting to grow their profile in the U.S. market. Yes, Nike could easily outbid them but their treatment of Allyson Felix a few years back still resonates with a lot of elite women. My observation is that younger women are seeking contracts with guaranteed money, no reduction clauses for injuries and pregnancies, and the freedom to seek additional revenue streams. Nike still tends to favor brand exclusive deals plus the "carrot-and-stick" system of reductions/bonuses. You can potentially make more money with The Swoosh but, it is more of a gamble long-term as injuries and life events inevitably happen.

I seriously doubt Puma is throwing $2 million at Steiner without any conditions/performance clauses.

I heard that Sydney makes $1.5 million from New Balance plus whatever else she makes from her other sponsors, so yes, Sydney might be making $2 million per year.

But the vast majority of track and field athletes are making almost nothing.

All you need to make good money in track and field is be a world record holder in your event and have model like looks. Easy!

And exactly how many women competing today are both very attractive AND a world record holder? Very, very few.

Now we know this was fake. I'm glad I asked the question and remained skeptical.

Looks and what one deems to be attractive are mostly subjective.

Sydney McLaughlin is probably the most obvious example. She is stunning.

Genzebe Dibaba, the world record holder in the 1500, is an attractive woman.

Valerie Allman is the American record holder in the discus and I would consider her to be attractive. She will probably never break the world record as it was set by an East German that more than likely was a part of the government sanctioned doping program.

These were just the ones that I immediately thought of. I'm sure that there are others.
