He never won an Olympic gold medal but did win a bronze medal in men's individual time trial cycling at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
Tha depends how you got the medal. Is from a recent Olympic or an ancient one e.g. 1896 or 2010? Does it have any major event atached to it e.g. Miracle on Ice? If it has no historical value, if it's made from real gold, it depends how much gold the medal contains.
This depends on what, if any, bonus the athlete's national Olympic committee pays out. For the USA, the USOC pays athletes $25,000 per gold medal, $15,000 per silver and $10,000 per bronze.
Olympic athletes are amateurs. They do not get paid. Britain does not award cash to medal winners. Other countries in the UK might award cash to their medal winners.
Sidney Crosby, Scott Niedmayer
If you're very good at football but not at any sport in the Olympic games, then winning a Heisman is easier. If you're very good at a sport that is part of the Olympic games, then the gold medal is easier. It's kind of a pointless question in the first place, but to put things in perspective: every four years, there a few hundred Olympic gold medals given out (between both the winter and summer games). There are exactly four Heisman trophies given out in that same period.
Since India started participating in the Olympic games in 1900, it has won 9 gold medals, mostly in field hockey. If you mean London Olympic 2012, India didn't won any gold medal so far. Only 2 bronze (shooting and badminton) and 1 silver (shooting).
