At the Olympic Games, the winning soccer team is awarded one gold medal for each player and official on the team, typically totaling around 18 medals. The silver medal goes to the runner-up team, while the bronze medal is awarded to the third-place team. In addition to the medals, teams also receive a trophy for their victory.

In the modern Olympic games, Gold medals are awarded for first-place, Silver medals are awarded for second-place, and Bronze medals are awarded for third-place. Typically the medals are only plated with the respective metals - the cost would otherwise be outrageous. In the ancient Olympic games, the winners received laurel wreaths.
Many people believe that athletes should in fact get paid for winning Olympic medals. This is because they trained very hard.
Olympic medals are awarded in a ceremony following the completion of each event, immediately following the certification of the results by the judges.
