Summary

The draft provides for establishing in the sports law a formula for the national support of the Olympic champion, which takes into account the change in the cost of living over time. The content of the bill is to link the coefficient of state support for Olympic champions to the average salary of the previous year, according to Statistics Estonia. Considering the above, the rate of state support for an Olympic champion is set at 1.3 times the average gross monthly salary, which, according to Statistics Estonia, was paid in Estonia in the year prior to the payment of the support in the year. The principle remains that the new rate of support cannot be lower than the current rate. In addition, the allowance rate for the Paralympic champion is set at 0.65 times the average gross monthly salary of the third quarter of the previous year. The explanatory letter states that since the adoption of the Sports Act, the Olympic champion's support rate has remained at the same level as the original. When the subsidy came into effect, the national subsidy for the Olympic champion was approximately one and a half times the Estonian average equal to the monthly salary. To date, the support rate has fallen well below the average monthly wage in Estonia. The purpose of the national support of the Olympic champion is to create an additional social guarantee for those people who have brought recognition to Estonia and a lot of positive emotions to society with their high sporting achievements.
