Winners received a laurel wreath and an olive branch and often quite a bit of money up to 500 drachmas, a vase of olive oil and possibly even food for life. They were the ancient sports heroes. Sculptors would create statues of them, some of which still survive today.
The prize was an olive branch, and a heroes' welcome to the city-state of the athlete. Sometimes, for great achievements, the athletes' families or the city-state itself would carve dedications and praises to the Gods in their favour and memory.
The winners were given crowns of olive branches, also the victors got a statue dedicated to them in the temple of Zeus
