Olympic athletes to get cash grants from new $100M fund created by IOC

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced a $100 million fund to provide $10,000 grants to athletes who compete in the 2026 Winter Games and 2028 Summer Games. The initiative, led by IOC member Pau Gasol, emphasizes direct athlete support without labeling the payments as prize money. Eligibility includes not testing positive for doping.
