Short: Can Crowdfunding Save The Olympic Dream?

The Olympics are just around the corner and its qualifications are in full swing. Thousands of athletes worldwide are fighting for the spots – sweating, bleeding, crying and… paying. A lot of money. But how do they get that money? Planet Mundus went out to meet Olympic hopefuls from Great Britain and Germany.
