The Olympics themselves don't give cash prices, and it's up to each individual country how much (or even IF) they want to give their medalists anything. In the case of the US, the USOC gives $25,000 to gold medal winners. (This is not much, considering that for many sports, training is itself a time commitment considerably in excess of a full-time job and that the training itself can be quite expensive.)
Corporate sponsorship and/or endorsement deals can be lucrative for top athletes in "popular" sports, but many sports are just not that visible; you're not terribly likely to see an Archery winner on a box of Wheaties.
