Eurosport Jul 2024: The amount Olympians can earn in Paris varies by country. Both Australia and the USA pay medallists, with Australia paying gold medallists $20,000 (£10,137) and the USA paying $37,500 (£29,103).
More than this, in a historic move, World Athletics announced in April that it will become the first international federation to award prize money to athletes at an Olympics. The governing body for track and field says it will pay $50,000 to athletes who win gold in all 48 track and field events in Paris. The boxing federation will pay $50,000, $25,000 or $12,500, depending on the color of the medal!
