How much do Olympics athletes earn when they bring home a medal.

USA athletes..Gold-$25.000 , silver-$15.000, Bronze $10.000

Singapore athletes..Gold $741000, silver $371000, bronze $185000

Unless your M.Phelps you don't earn enough.

What is wrong with this picture? M. Phelps earn his pay but the other athletes there is no

guarantee they will receive the big dollar endorsement that M. Phelps receive.

Our athletes train for years to get a medal for their country and receive a small amount for

their efforts.

I thought the olympics were a purely amateur event?

That's the point I was trying to make the other day on another topic.

You have professional athletes in most events basketball, track, soccer, golf and

M. Phelps and the U.S. basketball team are not amateurs.

It's not fair, those young folks train all those years missing out on their prom,sacrificing

so much to represent the USA and for what, maybe $25.000.

And the UK ... Zippo!

It is weird that some Olympic events allow pro athletes but some don't

Basically the Olympics are a corrupt farce and have no business being around

USA athletes..Gold-$25.000 , silver-$15.000, Bronze $10.000
Singapore athletes..Gold $741000, silver $371000, bronze $185000

So you're saying these athletes win a cash reward?

Who pays it out?

The REAL money is in the endorsements baby!
