The original Olympic prize was a laurel wreath.
It has been a tradition since the original olympics between the greek city-states, when the winners received olive wreathes! From then on, each host nation has commissioned and designed flower bouquets for the medal winners.
Summer Olympics are not held in 1994.
The only prizes given by the organisers of the Games were an olive branch and perhaps the right to put up a statue. However, winners were sometimes given large rewards by their hometowns when they got home, including cash, horses, household supplies, and military equipment.

There are three prizes given for each event at the Olympics. The winners receive gold medals. The second place finishers receive a silver medal. The third place finishers receive a bronze medal.
In the ancient Olympics, no medals were awarded. The first-place winner was given an olive branch to wear on his head. The second and third place winners got nothing.
The Olympics started giving out gold medals in 1904 to first-place winners. When the Olympics began in 1896, the awards given to first-place winners were silver medals and those in second place received bronze medals. In the next Olympics of 1900, winners got trophies instead of medals.
The gold medal is an award given to the first place winners in Olympic events. The most recent Olympics in China followed in this tradition.
