Le Olympics of this summer were a real success for Italy, which, thanks to its athletes, brought home a great loot with well 40 medals total: 10 gold, 10 silver and 20 bronze, beating the previous record Of 36 medals.
All athletes who manage to earn an Olympic medal also receive a reward economy. As for Italy for example, CONI this year decided to. increase the 20% awards compared to Rio 2016, as so many athletes were unable to participate in competitive competitions. "A due act toward the athletes who have made so many sacrifices in this year." Giovanni Malagò, CONI president, said.
How much is an Olympic medal worth?
When it comes to an Olympiad, the prizes are not always the same, but vary depending on the countries they belong to and the medal won.
As for Italy, this year's prizes were distributed in this way: for a bronze the prize was between €50 and €60,000 gross, for a silver from €75 to €90,000, and finally for the coveted gold it started from 150 all the way up to 180.000 €.
The U.S. and China, on the other hand, have rewarded their athletes with decidedly minor, given the huge participation of their athletes and the resulting many medals they win. For a gold in fact, the prize was around 37/38,000 $, practically not even the medal of bronze Italy!
Someone definitely did better than everyone else, we are talking about the Filipina weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, That brought a gold to the Philippines after as many as 95 years!
Hidilyn Diaz not only took home the gold, but also beat the world record for its category, a great honor for the Philippines, which did not fail to reward properly the Olympic athlete.
In fact, Diaz received a special award from AirAsia, or a Pass which allows for travel unlimited for life! Not something you get every day, for travel enthusiasts it could be equated with the Holy Grail.
The Philippine sports committee offered her 220.000 $ reward. but it didn't end there, because entrepreneurs in the city where he lives along with several other Filipino entrepreneurs decided to join forces and make the reward reach 660.000 $.
With various sponsorships, Hidilyn Diaz has also received. 2 machines to be conveniently parked in the 2 houses that have been donated to her, in short a Jackpot for all intents and purposes.
