Shouldn't we abolish pensions for Asian Games and Olympic athletes?

Korea is prosperous now and has strong economic power, so there is no need to continue providing military exemptions and pension benefits to promote national prestige, as we have done since the struggling 1980s.
I think providing large prize money should be enough.
Nowadays, public perception is shifting; rather than feeling proud of national representatives winning medals, more people are questioning whether such extensive benefits are necessary, so I believe it would be better to abolish them.
