Regular jobs of Sochi Olympians

Red Bull sponsors bobsledder Lolo Jones. Oakley sponsors short-track speed skater J.R. Celski. CoverGirl sponsors figure skater Ashley Wagner.

Those are some of the few elite athletes who receive some form of financial support from corporate sponsors, allowing them to focus on their sporting endeavors.
