In beach volley ball whether you"re a man or a woman you make the same salary (38000), toronto was the first city to pay equally. Women and men in tennis also make almost the same amount of money despite the fact that women had to wear special kind of clothing. Women were told, at olympics, either you cannot compete or you can compete in certain sports with certain rules.
