Athletes do make to much money and I dont think that they should make this much.but then they do deserve it...
No, they get endorsements when they win medals. Several of the people in games have family that have lost or are loosing their homes due to financial hardship. Some parents have spent not only time but money to make sure their son/daughter get the training and coaches they needed to get to this point. Frankly, they are "tapped" out because of it.
If you were caught cheating, you had to pay fines and with that money, statues of Zeus were erected, known as the Zanes. Each of these statues were placed along the passageway that led to the stadium, with the name of the cheat inscribed on its base. To get to the competitions site, the athletes had to walk past all the statues. Also, if you cheated, you would never be allowed to compete again because cheating was considered disrespectful to the gods.
How much money do Olympic track and field athletes earn for setting a world record?
It is not a waste of money because countries are able to showcase their athletes Also, it gives a country something to be proud of, and it is a huge thing for athletes.
Athletes do not receive a monetary prize for breaking a world record at the Olympics. They may receive bonuses from their team, sponsorships, or endorsements, but these are typically not directly tied to breaking records. The focus at the Olympics is on achieving the best performance rather than financial rewards for records.
Olympic sports contenders are not paid for the competition. Until the 1970s, Olympic athletes had to be amateur, not paid athletes. However, some countries' athletes practiced full time; others were very limited as to who could sponsor their living and coaching expenses.
because they have more money to by more expensive equipment and facilities
The athletes are unpaid, minus the prize money they receive for winning medals. Outside of the Olympics the various athletes' professional annual salaries sum to over $9.

Nothing; most Olympic athletes make money from endorsement deals and other ways of trading on their fame such as book deals, television commentary, interviews, etc. Many, particularly in less popular sports have regular jobs, or are supported by their families.
