Did you know that U.S. Olympic athletes receive prize money for their medals? U.S. Olympic athletes receive $25,000 for each gold, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze medals. The prize money is received from the U.S. Olympic Committee.
I didn't know that!!!! Gives a whole new meaning to the eight gold medals that Phelps won.
