In the ancient Olympics the prize was a laurel wreath which was worn on the head. In other words some twigs from a nearby tree - the athletes competed to see who was best and not for a monetary reward.
In the modern Olympics the awards are medals: Gold for the winner, Silver for the person or team who came second and a Bronze for third position.
