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.
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.
Summer Olympics are not held in 1994.

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.
