Only U.S. Olympic athletes are liable to pay income tax on medals earned and prizes received at the London games. Under U.S. tax law, they must add the value of their Olympic medals and prizes to their taxable income. At today's commodity prices, the value of a gold medal is about $675. A silver medal is worth about $385 while a bronze medal is worth under $5. There are also prizes that accompany each medal: $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze.
