Yes, but not by the International Olympic Committee. It's the various national sports organizations (including the local Olympic Committees) that give the athlethes prize money for medals won.
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.
The Greek athletes normally won a garland made from either wild-olive or laurel, money (drachmas) and in the panathenaic festival competitions they would win an amphorae of olive oil. The main prize they all wanted and earned was mainly fame and honour.
