Singapore is the most generous country, with a price of 5 million yuan for each gold medal. The only medal in Singapore's history came from 1960 Rome Olympic Games, and a weightlifter won the silver medal. In order to break the "gold medal shortage", the rewards provided by the state are also overwhelming, and they are more willing to spend the money than become unclaimed checks.
Greece: 65,438+900,000 yuan
Keeping pace with the times, Greece has given up the tradition of sending garlands to champions and replaced them with cash, and the amount is among the highest in all countries. The gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal winners of Beijing Olympic Games can get 6.5438+0.9 million yuan, 6.5438+0.3 million yuan and 700,000 yuan respectively. The winner can also get a good civil servant position and several advertising contracts.
Korea: 850,000 yuan
Korean men's gymnastics is their most promising event to hit the Olympic gold medal. From 199 1 up to now, Koreans have won four gold medals in this event, but unfortunately they always miss the Olympic gold medal. The Korean Gymnastics Association accurately opened the winning prize of 850,000 yuan to the account of this project, and made it clear that Liang and Jin Daen in the parallel bars project were the most powerful impactors.
Montenegro * * * Republic: 600,000 yuan
This Balkan country with a population of only 700,000 only joined the Olympic Committee in 2007. When it participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, it offered a reward of 600,000 gold medals, and the per capita donation of 1 yuan was enough. Although there is little hope of winning the gold medal, it is considered to be the participation of the whole people.
Colombia: 560,000 yuan
Colombian President Uribe personally presented awards to Olympic medal winners. At the15th Pan-American Games held last year, Colombian athletes ranked sixth in the medal list and jumped into the ranks of Latin American sports powers. In order to further stimulate the enthusiasm of athletes, the Colombian government has increased the bonus range of gold medal winners in the Beijing Olympic Games by 15 times! It will be increased from the original 6.5438+million pesos (about RMB37,000) to 65.438+500 million pesos (about RMB560,000).
Bulgaria: 540,000 yuan
The Bulgarian Ministry of Youth and Sports awarded 540,000 yuan, 400,000 yuan and 270,000 yuan to the champion, runner-up and third runner-up respectively, which will be provided by the Bulgarian First Investment Bank, the general sponsor of the Bulgarian Olympic delegation. In addition, the United Bank of Bulgaria will provide Bulgarian rowers who win medals in the Beijing Olympic Games with a bonus of up to 270,000 yuan.
Russia: 350,000 yuan
Russia, a gold medal country in the Olympic Games, spared no expense to provide gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal athletes with 350,000 yuan, 265,438+0,000 yuan, 654,380+0 and 400 yuan respectively. The local government where the athletes are located will also provide housing, bonuses and cars. Although the absolute prize amount is not very high, Russian athletes are all masters of winning medals, and the burden of the Russian government should be the heaviest.
Malaysia: 330,000 yuan
At present, Malaysia has set a bonus of 330,000 yuan for gold medal winners of the Beijing Olympic Games, plus retirement allowance.
Japan: 65,438+900,000 yuan
The Japanese government's reward for Olympic athletes is not very generous. The gold medal winner is only 6.5438+0.9 million yuan, the silver medal winner and the bronze medal winner are 6.5438+0.25 million yuan and 63,000 yuan respectively. Compared with the national per capita annual income of 266,000 yuan, this Olympic bonus is really as light as a feather.
United States: 1.77 million yuan
The United States, a gold crocodile, is not generous in awarding bonuses. The official reward for gold medal winners is only 6.5438+0.77 million yuan. However, athletes don't have to care about this, because in this country with highly developed commercialization and star-making industry, they can "make up for their apologies" in the shopping mall.
Germany: 65,438+500,000 yuan
Strict Germans will only be stricter in numbers. In order to maintain a healthy financial situation, they dare not award prizes easily. Just like the first-class football league in this country, its club's financial situation is the best in Europe, and the game's enjoyment is the worst among the five major leagues in Europe. For Olympic gold medalists, they are only willing to give 6.5438+0.5 million yuan.
Canada: 65,438+400,000 yuan
If the 20 10 Winter Olympics is not held in Vancouver, Canadians are not used to awarding medals to Olympic medal winners. This time, they provided 6.5438+0.4 million yuan, 6.5438+0.4 million yuan and 70,000 yuan for the gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal respectively, which was a new incentive mechanism before the Olympic flame was greeted at home. Michael Chambers, President of the Canadian Olympic Committee, recently announced in Ottawa the establishment of the Outstanding Athletes Foundation to provide prizes for Olympic medal winners. For the first time since the Beijing Olympic Games, Canada has distributed bonuses to Olympic medal winners.
China: 1 10,000.
