The table below comes from the amount of bonuses publicly promised by the national Olympic committees
In addition, there are some rewards outside the medal list.
Philippine weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz (Hidilyn Diaz) won the country's first ever Olympic gold medal in the women's 55kg competition on July 26. After the victory, Philippine President Duterte Erte announced that it will provide an additional US$600,000 in cash incentives and two new houses, one of which is a luxury villa donated by Filipino-Chinese rich man Wu Congman.

Malaysia promised to reward the country’s athletes who win gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics with a reward of US$241,000 each (the silver medal bonus is US$150,000 and the bronze medal is US$24,000). It is a pity that Malaysia only won the bronze medal in the badminton men's doubles event in this Olympic Games.
But Australia's promised prize money was only US$15,000, but Australia won more than 30 medals in Tokyo.
Russia promised that each winning athlete would get a brand new BMW car and a new home.
Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu won a silver medal in Tokyo and received a reward of about US$350,000. What is interesting is that as an employee of the Indian Railways, she also received a public commitment from her employer, the Railways, to return to her country. Will be promoted later.
In South Korea, in addition to receiving bonuses, medal winners in men's events are also exempted from 18 months of compulsory military service.
It is always interesting to see South African rowers Sizwe Ndlovu, Matthew Brittain, John Smith and James Thompson in After winning the men's lightweight quad rowing event at the 2012 London Olympics, each man also received an extra cow. The cow comes from popular local TV chef Jan Scannell.
