I am a figure skater myself and i have been since i was three! medals are awarded Gold, Silver, and bronze. If a skater places lower than third they will be awarded with a ribbon fourth, fifth , or sixth ribbon. normally competitions only give ribbons up to Sixth place but some competitions award up to eighth place ribbons. after sixth or eighth place (depending on the competition) the skater wont be awarded with anything. With Children that are very small like ages 1-4 other wise known as (canskaters) all get awarded with small trophies no matter what place they came in. They place Skaters by Jugding them on each of their elements basing them on Grace, Strength, Power, Landing, Entrance and so on. If the skater lacks in any of these elements they will have deductions and these will take off some of their points. After the final skater's performance, the judges will add up the points and place the skaters according who got the most points and the least!
Hope this helped!

In team sports a larger podium is set up such that all members of each team can stand on their section. Each member of each team receives a medal - members of gold medal teams each receive a gold medal, silver medal teams silver, bronze get bronze. In events contested by a single-elimination tournament (most notably boxing), third place might not be determined and both semifinal losers receive bronze medals. Where the competition is against a field such as gymnastics or relay races, only a single set of bronze medals is awarded to one team.
they win either a gold medal (if they come in first position), silver medal (if they come in second position) or bronze medal (if they come in third position).
a medal is awarded by the team that has the best score is awarded the best prize
i think they have sponsors ,to help pay for their trips etc. to get there to represnt their country.
