      Here in the Philippines it will be different. Every athlete who qualified for the Olympics will receive Php500,000 (close to US$10,000) incentive (from the government and private corporations). Our country's Olympic delegation has shown its best performance just yet. While others didn't win medals, they otherwise managed to break their personal-best and national records.

    Lol our most recent medal before the tokyo olympics was literally from the 2016 rio olympics. Our olympics medal count is now at 14. Hidilyn's gold is not our first

      The way they worded the sentence could generate implications that the PH only had its 1st ever medal from the Tokyo Olympics

    It's no surprise that Singapore gives the most prize money to their athletes. Their prime minister is the highest paid world leader (over USD$1.6M, and obviously I'm discounting Brunei) with quite a lead in front of the second (the Chief Executive of Hong Kong with over USD$560K), so it makes sense that there athletes would also be the best paid. Even if their athletes actually won the prizes more often, I doubt Singapore would lower the amount.

    Indonesia should be on the list. Every athlete who wins gold will get IDR 5 billion or around USD 350,000 from the country. All for themselves. According to this list, that's the 2nd biggest. Then they also get more money from other people, get houses, free products for life, etc.

    A lot of Olympians are broke. This is kinda BS. They work so hard, just to qualify, and don't get enough even when winning medals. Governments should pay them for participating, and should pay more to those that win medals. Sponsorships for athletes in niche sports may never come. Imagine being an Olympic medalist, but broke. So unfair. I'm just in shock. Why should they even represent their countries if they don't get paid by said countries to participate?
