Olympic sports contenders are not paid for the competition. Until the 1970s, Olympic athletes had to be amateur, not paid athletes. However, some countries' athletes practiced full time; others were very limited as to who could sponsor their living and coaching expenses.
This depends on what, if any, bonus the athlete's national Olympic committee pays out. For the USA, the USOC pays athletes $25,000 per gold medal, $15,000 per silver and $10,000 per bronze.
