The Winter Olympics are full of entitlement and leisure class athletes

63. That's meaningless data-it's just "what sports rich people like the most".

Income vs. recreational preference is meaningless, insomuch as it has no connection to the actual cost of the recreation.

Skiing isn't cheap, but from firsthand experience it's a LOT cheaper than diving, and I know a lot of golfers who spend more on one club than I did on my skis…and pay more for a round than even an overpriced day ticket, let alone a season pass if you have easy access to a ski hill. Boating #5? Boats are legendarily expensive, you usually need more than that $77k income to even get started there.

And…for real, #7 is "work out at a gym"? That's not a rich person thing, Planet Fitness is like $20/month…it's just something rich people have the time to do.

And now that I say that…this study should have been titled "What people who have enough money to have meaningful leisure time choose to do with that time."
