                      I believe it depends on each individual country, different countries have different dollar amounts awarded to medal winners.

                              Phelps is richer than you are. I think they mostly make their money with the sponsors and some countries offer money incentive for medals.


                              A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                              So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                      Depends on what they get for the medal at the pawn shop.

                                          Most Olympians earn nothing for Olympic competition. Many countries’ Olympic teams, including the United States’, provide travel expenses to Olympic competitors, but even these funds don’t come directly from the government, rather a pool of private and corporate donors.

                                          The only direct income a few Olympians receive for their competition is from corporate sponsorships. For an A-list Olympian like Michael Phelps, that means plenty of dough to support himself while he trains and competes from companies like Speedo. And, in addition to regular sponsorships, the swimwear outfit has promised to pay Phelps $1 million if he breaks the 1972 record for seven gold medals in a single Olympics. With five golds under Phelps’ belt already, it looks like he just may do it.

                                          All U.S. athletes can also earn a “medal bonus” from the U.S. Olympic committee for each medal won. The U.S. pays American medal winners $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze medals. Some countries, though not all, pay athletes similar medal bonuses. The highest I found is Russia. This year Russia raised Olympic medal awards to $100,000 for gold, $60,000 for silver, and $40,000 for bronze.

                                          While these bonuses are a nice way to reward athletes financially for a big, big accomplishment, many will never enjoy the steady income that comes with a corporate sponsorship, making what they endure to compete all the more impressive.

                                              Phelps made over 5 million a year before the 2008 games, but most dont make six figures unless they get a gold.

They did a bio/background on her and they said she was a huge star there I guess like Phelps is here. She was doing TV commercials, modeling, endorsements etc and was earning like 3 million per year.

Olympic teams, including the United States?, provide travel expenses to Olympic competitors, but even these funds don?t come directly from the government, rather a pool of private and corporate donors.

                                                                                                                      The only direct income a few Olympians receive for their competition is from corporate sponsorships. For an A-list Olympian like Michael Phelps, that means plenty of dough to support himself while he trains and competes from companies like Speedo. And, in addition to regular sponsorships, the swimwear outfit has promised to pay Phelps $1 million if he breaks the 1972 record for seven gold medals in a single Olympics. With five golds under Phelps? belt already, it looks like he just may do it.

                                                                                                                      All U.S. athletes can also earn a ?medal bonus? from the U.S. Olympic committee for each medal won. The U.S. pays American medal winners $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze medals. Some countries, though not all, pay athletes similar medal bonuses. The highest I found is Russia. This year Russia raised Olympic medal awards to $100,000 for gold, $60,000 for silver, and $40,000 for bronze.

                                                                                                                      While these bonuses are a nice way to reward athletes financially for a big, big accomplishment, many will never enjoy the steady income that comes with a corporate sponsorship, making what they endure to compete all the more impressive.

I've heard some countries paying up to 1 million for 1 gold medal(I don't remember which one(s)).

                                                                                                                          In Canada most of the athletes don't make shit... but they get some deals to work part time at rona or some other kind of sponsorship that pays them so they can do sports full time. I think a lot of the athletes also study(university) at the same time. I guess it gets a little bit better when you win medals.

I just saw some costs to team GB that kinda go against the 'pay for medals theory' - swimming, cycling, rowing, athletics each cost the GB olympic committee (through the lottery mainly) 20-22 million each event....
