Don't olympic gold medal bobsledders make enough in endorsements to buy themselves a replacement console?

Either way, it really sucks that he had the Xbox and games and thousands of hours worth in game saves stolen from him.

a Bobsledder in Winter Olympics? What kind of endorsement deals do you think he can get?

 

Also not the most charismatic loooking guys out there.

Hopefully Microsoft can help out here

Fair enough. I found an article that pretty much covers this topic. An Olympic Gold Medal isn't enough to get endorsements. Article mentions that he's unlikely to get much in endorsements because bobsledding in an obscure sport and he won as part of a 4 man team (which makes it even harder to market him apparently).

Hopefully Microsoft hooks him up with an Elite and some games.
