What do you think they would achieve in any practical way by winning a bunch of gold medals?

It's the Olympics, not trade negotiations.

It's estimated that the value of a gold medal is around $1 million in terms of economic impact, considering factors like increased tourism, sponsorship, and national pride.

Please do provide actual evidence for that claim. Specifically for a gold medal in women's boxing.

That's a pathetically tiny amount of capital for a state.

You are asking about the total benefits of sending athletes to the Olympics, not the statistical weighing of gold medals in a regression model.
