If You Mean The ANCIENT Olympic Games (First Held In 776 B.C.), The First Place Winners Received A Wreath Of Olive Branches, To Be Placed On Their Head. The Winner And Two Runner-Ups Received A Palm Branch With Red Ribbons Tied To It. If You Mean The Current Olympic Games, Well Obviously They Receive First (Gold), Second (Silver), And Bronze Medals.

well Olympic winners from Athens were paid a cash equivalent of five years earnings for a workingman and that didn't include other perks like a lifetime of free meals.

"athlete" is derived from the ancient Greek meaning, "one who competes for a prize.
