Do Olympians win any money

Answer 1

Canada Incentives [in Canadian dollars]

Gold medalist = $20,000

Silver medalist = $15,000

Bronze medalist = $10,000

Thai Incentives

Gold medalist = $314,000

Silver medalist = $187,788

Philippine Incentives

Azerbaijan Incentives:

Gold: AZN 100,000 and NOC-AZN 50,000

Silver: AZN 50,000 and NOC AZN 30,000

Bronze: AZN 25,000 and AZN 20,000

The AZN amounts are converted to the following:

AZN 100,000 = USD 123,777

AZN 50,000 = USD 61,888

AZN 25,000 = USD 30,944

I honestly don't know the difference between AZN and NOC-AZN.
