For Canadians there has been a set up , a fund of which is called Athlete Excellence Fund that was created by the Canadian Olympic Committee. Canadian athletes will receive a $20,000 dollar monetary compensation for any gold medal won at the Olympics games , in the future (including Beijing). Silver winners will be compensated $15,000 dollars per medal; and bronze winners will earn $10,000 dollars.
