Sista frågan: Vad tycker du om pengarnas inverkan på idrotten?"

Stellan Bengtsson, 48 år, Steninge, bordtennis:
– Mindre idrotter, som pingisen, skulle få mer uppmärksamhet med fler tv-kanaler och större utbud.

Frank Andersson, 44 år, Halmstad, brottning
– Jag tjänade förhållandevis bra, man var ju lite kontroversiell och annorlunda. Det tyckte sponsorerna om. – Med de pengar som finns inom idrotten nu tappar utövarna fotfästet. Dopningen blir genvägen.

Ricky Bruch, 54 år, Blentarp, diskus
– Jag tror att för mycket pengar i för tidig ålder tar död på motivationen. Okej, jag tjänade en hel del, ibland femsiffriga belopp, men så har jag spenderat mycket också.
