How much do Olympic athletes get paid per medal?

Olympic athletes rely on endorsement deals, sponsorships and prize money to make their living, and you might be surprised by how much they actually stand to earn.

There are huge disparities between the nations competing at Paris 2024 when it comes to incentives for winning medals, and Australia is on the lower end of the scale compared to other countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, Italy and the United States.

A high-profile global athlete like Nadal, Djokovic or Daley might stand to earn a huge amount from sponsorship deals, but competitors without the name recognition will have a tougher time earning an income from the Olympics.

So when it comes to Ariarne Titmus, Emma McKeon, Elijah Winnington and the rest of our Aussie athletes, how much do they earn?

If you are willing to be paid nothing and still work towards an Olympic gold it shows your true passion in being an athlete. You are less likely to be judged to play for money and the overall enjoyment of success will be purer

It was the euro u18s. He's seen people do similar on tele but slowed down way too much. It's pretty easy to do - I nearly missed out on an olympic trials final by doing it in a 400m race

So the vast majority of Olympic level athletes make absolutely nothing.
