In America, they win a gold trophy but no cash. However, gold medalists have opportunities far greater than a one-time cash gift. Through endorsements, the winners can generate continual income for years after their victory.

No, usually their countries pay them for winning their medals.

Here in Britain the answer is no
Nothing
No, the IOC does not pay medal winners.
Unfortuneatly, the olympians from the USA do have to pay taxes on the winnings from the medals awarded.
The prize taxes for a gold medal honorarium of $25,000 is pegged by ATR at $,8750. Combined with the tax on the medal itself, a gold medalist will have to pay the IRS $8,986. A silver medalist must pay $5,385 on the medal and the $15,000 honorarium and a bronze medal winner must pay $3,502 on the medal and the $10,000 honorarium.

Olympic athletes do not get paid for the medals they win. They do not receive pay for participating. U.S. medalists receive cash prizes from the U.S. Olympic committee. Gold medal winners receive $25,000, silver medal winners receive $15,000, and bronze medal winners receive $10,000.
No, they do not. However, the national committees for most countries will give athletes that win a medal an honorarium. The US awards $25k for gold, $15k for silver and $10k for bronze. Great Britain does not give and award. In some cases other organizations will award winners as well, I understand one of the US groups will pay one of the wrestlers a 6 figure bonus.
